231. Dwarf spheroidals: an update

I describe the latest Gaia-based studies of the classical dwarf spheroidal galaxies of the Local Group. Gaia DR3 is being used to derive improved orbits and orbital histories, and these are shown to link to associated star formation bursts at they approach pericentre. There are new studies of their structure, internal kinematics, and bulk rotation, and of their associated globular cluster systems.
