Motivation
The field of dwarf galaxy research has expanded dramatically with the discovery of low surface brightness galaxies in the Local Group and the field. This workshop will convene experts to discuss the nature of dwarf galaxies generally, with special attention to dwarf satellite galaxies and tidal dwarfs galaxies formed during the encounters of giant galaxies. We will debate the implications these objects have for galaxy formation theory, the small scale problems of ΛCDM, and tests of alternatives like MOND. |
