GraphNPE recovers a significantly lower central density for Boötes I consistent with a core while Draco remains marginally cuspy, and demonstrates that higher-order velocity moments reduce bias in dynamical modeling.

Boötes III has σ_v ≈ 1.7 km/s, a recent ~9.5 kpc pericenter on a polar eccentric orbit, and is actively tidally disrupting, with debris broadly consistent with the Styx stream.
The low-mass IMF in Boötes I is consistent with the Milky Way within 68% confidence for broken power-law and lognormal forms, indicating universality at low metallicity.
Subaru PFS will obtain velocities and abundances for ~18k stars in six dwarfs, 30k in M31, and tens of thousands of outer-MW main-sequence stars to test dark-matter profiles and Local Group assembly.
Segue 1 has a metallicity distribution with mean [Fe/H] = -2.52 dex and dispersion 0.59 dex showing no subpopulations, consistent with continuous star formation lasting less than 1 Gyr before reionization.
