Dwarf Galaxies and Their Black Holes

Event Start:
2021-07-14T10:00:00
Event End:

Event Information:

Because they are dark-matter dominated, dwarf galaxies provide some of the most stringent tests of our cold dark matter model. Specifically, Lambda CDM makes predictions about the number, shape, and spatial distributions of the faint friends of massive galaxies. I will present results from the Exploration of Local VolumE Satellites (ELVES) survey, that constructs the largest sample of satellites around Milky Way-like hosts.
