I compare the dark matter content within stellar half-mass radius expected in a $\Lambda$CDM-based galaxy formation model with existing observational estimates for the observed dwarf satellites of the Milky Way and ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs).
The model reproduces the main properties and scaling relations of dwarf galaxies, in particular their stellar mass-size relation.
I show that
the model also reproduces the relation between the dark matter mass within the
half-mass radius, $M_{\rm dm}( The scatter in the $M_{\rm dm}( I also show the $M_{\rm dm}( The upper limits on $M_{\rm
dm}( The most dark
matter-deficient galaxies of a given size correspond to halos with the smallest
concentrations and the largest ratios of $M_\star/M_{\rm 200c}$. Conversely,
the most dark matter-dominated galaxies are hosted by the highest concentration
halos with the smallest $M_\star/M_{\rm 200c}$ ratios. Results presented in
this paper indicate that dark matter content of observed UDGs may represent a
tail of the expected dark matter profiles, especially if the effect of feedback
on these profiles is taken into account. Nevertheless, the unusually rich GC
populations in some UDG galaxies do indicate unusual evolution. Our results
simply indicate that with the current accuracy of the velocity dispersion
measurements their $M_{\rm dm}( ;Comment: 10 pages, 7 figures, final version accepted in the Open Journal of
