Galactic Paleontology in the Era of HWO | September 18th 2024, 11:00 am – 12:00 noon ET
Speaker: Mia Bovill (University of Maryland)
Abstract:
Upcoming telescopes, including HWO, will revolutionize our understanding of near field cosmology with unprecedented observations of dwarf galaxies into the Local Volume. However, we do not have a sufficient theoretical understanding of the scatter inherent in dwarf satellite populations. I will present results of the modeling of dwarf galaxies with the Semi-Analytic Model Galacticus in an effort to provide some of the first quantification of the variations in dwarf populations around their hosts.
