Dwarf spheroidal galaxies : kinematics of stellar populations and mass modelling with tides

Dwarf Spheroidal galaxies (dSphs) are the nearest and the most dark matter dominated galaxies in the Universe. In this thesis, we study their kinematics and dynamics using Monte Carlo methods. First, we study the kinematics of stellar subpopulations in dwarf spheroidal galaxies and present a robust...
