Description
We use the Maximum Likelihood technique to derive the density profile parameters of the the dark matter halos containing the Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies of the Milky Way. This is done using the Jeans equation formalism on the the stellar kinematic data available for such systems. The method is validated on simulated data generated by the Gaia Challenge team.
