As all scientists would say, the answer is.. "it depends"!
Is the Milky Way Galaxy, a "special" place? A team of scientists, including @UofUPhysAstro professor, Yao-Yuan Mao started a journey to answer this question more than a decade ago. They now have some answersπβ¬οΈ

I was so lucky to be looped into SAGA Survey when I was still a second-year grad student. This amazing project is such an important part of my professional journey. It is so wonderful to work with this group of people. β€οΈπ§‘πππππ©· Now go check out our papers and e-posters!!

Oh oh ohh vote for us (Thornton et al.) for Astro Plot of the Week! The beautiful image shows how a self-organizing map can group similar galaxies together, and enable us to do weak lensing measurements on a low-mass galaxy sample!

Measuring the dark mass of low-mass galaxies with weak lensing!
Weβre excited to share the halo mass profiles of dwarf galaxies in the @theDESurveyβ¨! @RisaWechsler @yaoyuanmao @susmita_a, Joseph Thornton and I teamed up to pave a new road toward dwarf lensing from future surveys like @VRubinObs π:

End of June is such a strange time in the US, with shops and people replacing the pride flag with the American flag, and the Supreme Court handing out all these decisions that dictate whether I'll become a second-class citizen tomorrow. Made me wonder what we were celebrating?
