CMDs and CDM: near field cosmology with the Local Group of galaxies
|
Abstract:
Recent years have seen a surge of interest in the nearby galaxies of the Local
Group as substructure and dwarf galaxies continue to be discovered. Observations
of nearby galaxies provide some of the most detailed insight into the processes
of galaxy formation and evolution available. In this talk, I discuss some recent
results and discoveries for Local Group galaxies, and show how these are causing
us to change our perceptions of even the simplest galaxies in the Universe.
