Abstract



We present a spectroscopic analysis of Eridanus IV (Eri IV) and Centaurus I (Cen I), two ultrafaint dwarf galaxies of the Milky Way. Using IMACS/Magellan spectroscopy, we identify 28 member stars of Eri IV and 34 member stars of Cen I. For Eri IV, we measure a systemic velocity of vsys=-31.5-1.2+1.3kms-1 , and velocity dispersion sigma v=6.1-0.9+1.2kms-1 . Additionally, we measure the metallicities of 16 member stars of Eri IV. We find a metallicity of [Fe/H]=-2.87-0.07+0.08 , and resolve a dispersion of sigma [Fe/H]=0.20 +/- 0.09. The mean metallicity is marginally lower than all other known ultrafaint dwarf galaxies, making it one of the most metal-poor galaxies discovered thus far. Eri IV also has a somewhat unusual right-skewed metallicity distribution. For Cen I, we find a velocity v sys = 44.9 +/- 0.8 km s-1, and velocity dispersion sigma v=4.2-0.5+0.6kms-1 . We measure the metallicities of 27 member stars of Cen I, and find a mean metallicity [Fe/H] = -2.57 +/- 0.08, and metallicity dispersion sigma[Fe/H]=0.38-0.05+0.07 . We calculate the systemic proper motion, orbit, and the astrophysical J-factor for each system, the latter of which indicates that Eri IV is a good target for indirect dark matter detection. We also find no strong evidence for tidal stripping of Cen I or Eri IV. Overall, our measurements confirm that Eri IV and Cen I are dark-matter-dominated galaxies with properties largely consistent with other known ultrafaint dwarf galaxies. The low metallicity, right-skewed metallicity distribution, and high J-factor make Eri IV an especially interesting candidate for further follow-up.
