NGC 1052 DF2 - A Galaxy without Dark Matter?
Presented by Rich Rand (UNM)
I will briefly discuss observations of the dwarf galaxy NGC 1052 DF2, which has been claimed to be a galaxy without dark matter. I will show the observational evidence for this conclusion, briefly outline some possible origins of this galaxy, and discuss whether this observation is unique.
