Using the public archival data from the GIRAFFE spectrograph on the Very Large Telescope (VLT), we locate new members and provide refined measurements of physical parameters for these dwarf galaxies. We identify nine new Leo IV members and four new Leo V members, and perform a comparative analysis of previously discovered members. Additionally, we identify one new binary star in both Leo IV and Leo V. After removing binary stars, we recalculate the velocity dispersions of Bootes I and Leo IV to be 5.1_-0.8_^+0.7^ and 3.4_-0.9_^+1.3^km/s, respectively; we do not resolve the Leo V velocity dispersion. We identify a weak velocity gradient in Leo V that is ~4x smaller than the previously calculated gradient and that has a corresponding position angle that differs from the value in the literature by ~120{deg}. Combining the VLT data with previous values from the literature, we reanalyze the Bootes I metallicity distribution function and find that a model including infall of pristine gas, while Bootes I was forming stars' best fits the data. Our analysis of Leo IV, Leo V, and other UFDs will enhance our understanding of these enigmatic stellar populations and contribute to future dark matter studies. This is the first in a series of papers examining 13 UDFs observed with VLT/GIRAFFE between 2009 and 2017. Similar analyses of the remaining 10 UFDs will be presented in forthcoming papers.</description><source format="bibcode">2021ApJ...920...92J</source><referenceURL>https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/ApJ/920/92</referenceURL><type>Catalog</type><contentLevel>Research</contentLevel><relationship><relationshipType>IsServedBy</relationshipType><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/TAP">TAP VizieR generic service</relatedResource></relationship><relationship><relationshipType>IsServedBy</relationshipType><relatedResource>Conesearch service</relatedResource></relationship><relationship><relationshipType>related-to</relationshipType><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/I/337">I/337 : Gaia DR1 (Gaia Collaboration, 2016)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/A+A/407/1157">J/A+A/407/1157 : UVES sky atlas (Hanuschik+, 2003)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/A+A/442/1127">J/A+A/442/1127 : Library of 2500-10500{AA} synthetic spectra (Munari+, 2005)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/AJ/131/2114">J/AJ/131/2114 : Radial velocities in Fornax dSph (Walker+, 2006)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/MNRAS/380/281">J/MNRAS/380/281 : Faint galactic satellites spectroscopy (Martin+, 2007)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/ApJ/692/1464">J/ApJ/692/1464 : Spectroscopy of Segue 1 (Geha+, 2009)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/ApJ/694/L144">J/ApJ/694/L144 : Spectroscopic study of Leo V dSph (Walker+, 2009)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/ApJ/710/1664">J/ApJ/710/1664 : BV photometry in Leo IV and Leo V dSphs (de Jong+, 2010)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/ApJ/723/1632">J/ApJ/723/1632 : Abundance spreads in Bootes I and Segue 1 (Norris+, 2010)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/MNRAS/411/1013">J/MNRAS/411/1013 : CaII triplet in Sextans dSph galaxy (Battaglia+, 2011)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/ApJ/736/146">J/ApJ/736/146 : Radial velocities of stars in Bootes I (Koposov+, 2011)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/ApJ/733/46">J/ApJ/733/46 : Velocity measurements in Segue 1 (Simon+, 2011)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/ApJ/756/79">J/ApJ/756/79 : Opt photometry in 3 Local Group dwarf galaxies (Sand+, 2012)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/MNRAS/434/1681">J/MNRAS/434/1681 : Extremely metal-poor stars CaII triplet (Carrera+, 2013)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/ApJ/779/102">J/ApJ/779/102 : Metallicities of RGB stars in dwarf galaxies (Kirby+, 2013)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/ApJ/808/95">J/ApJ/808/95 : Spectroscopy of Reticulum II (Simon+, 2015)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/ApJ/808/108">J/ApJ/808/108 : M2FS stellar spectroscopy of Reticulum 2 (Walker+, 2015)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/ApJ/826/110">J/ApJ/826/110 : Boo-127 and Boo-980 high-resolution spectra (Frebel+, 2016)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/ApJ/819/53">J/ApJ/819/53 : Magellan/M2FS spectroscopy of Tucana2 &amp;Grus1 (Walker+, 2016)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/ApJ/857/74">J/ApJ/857/74 : Abundances of 7 new member stars in Tucana II (Chiti+, 2018)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/MNRAS/479/5343">J/MNRAS/479/5343 : Nearby dwarf galaxy in Magellanic bridge (Koposov+, 2018)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/ApJ/855/43">J/ApJ/855/43 : Distant RR Lyrae stars discovered with HiTS (Medina+, 2018)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/A+A/623/A129">J/A+A/623/A129 : New satellites of the LMC search (Fritz+, 2019)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/MNRAS/490/3508">J/MNRAS/490/3508 : The Southern Stellar Stream Sp.
