Kinematics of Milky Way Satellites: Mass Estimates, Rotation Limits, and Proper Motions

In the past several years kinematic data sets from Milky Way satellite galaxies have greatly improved, furthering the evidence that these systems are the most dark matter dominated objects known. This paper discusses a maximum likelihood formalism that extracts important quantities from these kinema...
