Dark Matter Clues from the Faintest Galaxies
I will briefly present results on two recent discoveries which represent the faintest galaxies known to date. One is a dwarf satellite of the Milky Way with only ~16 Msun of stars, and another one a gas-filled system apparently devoid of stars. I will discuss some of the implications of these galaxies for the nature of dark matter.
