A Model for Dwarf Spheroidal Satellite Galaxies without Dark Matter
  Self-consistent simulations of the dynamical evolution of low-mass satellite galaxies without dark matter on different orbits interacting with an extended Galactic dark halo are described. The calculations proceed for many orbital periods until well after the satellite dissolves. In all cases the dynamical evolution converges to a remnant that contains roughly 1% of the initial satellite mass. The stable remnant results from severe tidal shaping of the initial satellite. To an observer from Earth these remnants look strikingly similar to the Galactic dwarf spheroidal satellite galaxies. Their apparent mass-to-light ratios are very large despite the fact that they contain no dark matter.   These computations show that a remnant without dark matter displays larger line-of-sight velocity dispersions for more eccentric orbits, which is a result of projection onto the observational plane. Assuming they are not dark matter dominated, it follows that the Galactic dSph satellites with sigma>6km/s should have orbital eccentricities of e>0.5. Some remnants have sub-structure along the line-of-sight that may be apparent in the morphology of the horizontal branch.
