Abstract
- We present spatially-resolved stellar kinematics of the well-studied ultra diffuse galaxy (UDG) Dragonfly 44, as determined from 25.3 hrs of observations with the Keck Cosmic Web Imager. The luminosity-weighted dispersion within the half-light radius is $\sigma_{1/2}=33^{+3}_{-3}$ km/s. There is no evidence for rotation, with $V/\sigma<br />Comment: Accepted to ApJ. Figure 7 shows off the capabilities of KCWI. The key observational result, the radial dispersion profile, is shown in Fig. 14. Figure 16 demonstrates the aperture-dependence of the M/L ratio. Figs 17 and 18 show fits to NFW profiles and Di Cintio cored profiles. People interested in the variation of the night sky spectrum might enjoy Figure 3!
