A new preprint introduces a semi-analytic cosmological satellite generator to estimate Milky Way dwarf galaxy density profiles. This framework aims to test the consistency of observed dwarf galaxy properties with predictions from the Cold Dark Matter paradigm, particularly concerning central dark matter densities. This preliminary work offers a novel procedure for addressing tensions in current cosmological models.
