Description
We present low-resolution spectroscopy of 120 red giants in the Galactic satellite dwarf spheroidal (dSph) Leo I, obtained with GeminiN GMOS and Keck DEIMOS. We find stars with velocities consistent with membership of Leo I out to 1.3 King tidal radii. By measuring accurate radial velocities with a median measurement error of 4.6km/s, we find a mean systemic velocity of 284.2km/s with a global velocity dispersion of 9.9km/s. The dispersion profile is consistent with being flat out to the last data point.
