dc.descriptionWe derive inner dark matter halo density profile slopes for a sample of 200 dwarf galaxies by inverting rotation curves obtained from high-quality, long-slit optical spectra. Using simulations to assess the impact of long-slit observing and data processing errors on our measurements, we conclude that our observations are consistent with the cuspy halos predicted by the CDM paradigm.
