Default Draco Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy Paper

Here is an interesting paper about the Draco Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy.

The paper describes careful measurements made with Hubble and other major instruments observing this strangely unperturbed little galaxy. The paper focuses on how the study of this object will be a useful test for Cold Dark Matter.
