Photometric analysis yields metallicity distributions for 3917 stars across 12 faint Milky Way satellites, showing average [Fe/H] ~ -2.3 dex, 170 EMP candidates, and no gradients in ultra-faint systems.
Five of seven modeled M31 dwarf spheroidals show anomalously low central DM densities at 150 pc, with star formation heating disfavored as the sole cause.
