Schwarzschild models of the Sculptor dSph galaxy
  We have developed a spherically symmetric dynamical model of a dwarf
spheroidal galaxy using the Schwarzschild method. This type of modelling yields
constraints both on the total mass distribution (e.g. enclosed mass and scale
radius) as well as on the orbital structure of the system modelled (e.g.
velocity anisotropy). Therefore not only can we derive the dark matter content
of these systems, but also explore possible formation scenarios. Here we
present preliminary results for the Sculptor dSph. We find that the mass of
Sculptor within 1kpc is 8.5\times10^(7\pm0.05) M\odot, its anisotropy profile
is tangentially biased and slightly more isotropic near the center. For an NFW
profile, the preferred concentration (~15) is compatible with cosmological
models. Very cuspy density profiles (steeper than NFW) are strongly disfavoured
for Sculptor.
