[7] Recent studies have indicated that the galaxy may potentially hold large amounts of dark matter.

[b] The Draco Dwarf contains primarily an old population of stars and insignificant amounts of interstellar matter (being basically dust free).

[5] Recently, dwarf spheroidal galaxies have become key objects for the study of dark matter.

[5] In 2024, a group of scientists using the Hubble Space Telescope measured proper motions of Draco with 18 years of data, making it the first dwarf galaxy to have its 3D velocity dispersion profile radially resolved.

[4] The group of astronomers showed that Draco's dark matter distribution is in better agreement with the LCDM model, helping to alleviate the cusp-core problem.
