Internal Kinematics of the Fornax Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy
  We present new radial velocity results for 176 stars in the Fornax dwarf spheroidal galaxy, of which at least 156 are probable Fornax members. We combine with previously published data to obtain a radial velocity sample with 206 stars, of which at least 176 are probable Fornax members. We detect the hint of rotation about an axis near Fornax's morphological minor axis, though the significance of the rotation signal in the galactic rest frame is sensitive to the adopted value of Fornax's proper motion. Regardless, the observed stellar kinematics are dominated by random motions, and we do not find kinematic evidence of tidal disruption. The projected velocity dispersion profile of the binned dataset remains flat over the sampled region, which reaches a maximum angular radius of 65 arcmin. Single-component King models in which mass follows light fail to reproduce the observed flatness of the velocity dispersion profile. Two-component (luminous plus dark matter) models can reproduce the data, provided the dark component extends sufficiently beyond the luminous component, and the central dark matter density is of the same order as the central luminous density. These requirements suggest a more massive, darker Fornax than standard core-fitting analyses have previously concluded, with M/L_V over the sampled region reaching 10 to 40 times the M/L_V of the luminous component. We also apply a non-parametric mass estimation technique, introduced in a companion paper. Though it is designed to operate on datasets containing velocities for $>$1000 stars, the estimation yields preliminary results suggesting M/L_V ~ 15 inside r < 1.5 kpc.
