Stellar catalogs for Draco and Ursa Minor used in the work 'Multi-component axisymmetric dynamical models of dSphs based on distribution functions: Inferences on dark matter and intermediate-mass black holes in Draco and Ursa Minor'

# Tables with reference parameters and confidence intervals This repository contains a PDF file (Tables_with_best_parameter_values_and_priors.pdf) including three tables that summarize the results of the modeling presented in the paper. Table 1 reports the results of the fits to the Gaia data discussed in Appendix C.1. Table 2 reports the results of the fits to the Walker kinematic data described in Appendix C.2. Table 3 contains the results of the distribution-function-based dynamical models for the two galaxies and the two constructed catalogs. For each model, the tables provide: the priors adopted for all free parameters, the median value of each parameter, the corresponding 1σ and 2σ confidence intervals The reported uncertainties correspond to the marginalized posterior distributions obtained from the Bayesian analysis. # Stellar catalogs for Draco and Ursa Minor This repository contains the stellar catalogs used for the dynamical and chemo-dynamical analysis of the Draco and Ursa Minor dwarf spheroidal galaxies. For each galaxy, a dedicated Gaia member-star catalog was first constructed. Starting from these Gaia-based catalogs, the stars were then assigned line-of-sight velocities and metallicities using two independent spectroscopic datasets:- Walker et al. (2023)- Geha et al. (2026) Details on the membership selection procedure and on the association with the spectroscopic catalogs are provided in the associated paper and appendices. Each resulting catalog is distributed as a `.csv` file.Catalogs are:draco_G26_dataset: Draco catalog with Geha et al. (2026) sampledraco_W23_dataset: Draco catalog with Walker et al.
