Galactic Paleontology in the Era of HWO

18 September 2024, 11:00 am – 12:00 noon ET
Mia Bovill (University of Maryland)

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.
