all talk

Willman gave an intriguing group meeting talk about results from her last run of simulations of a Local-Group-like dark-matter concentration in a cosmological context. There is a hope of constraining aspects of early reionization with the star formation histories of the dwarfs.

Wu showed me that we do have detections of some dwarf galaxies at 8 microns in IRAC, so we ought to have detections in the IRS spectra, unless I did some kind of calculation wrong (disturbingly possible).

Masjedi told me about what he learned from his participation in the Galaxies in the Cosmic Web conference. There is rapidly growing interest in the constraints on galaxy evolution from close pairs, internal stellar densities, and continuity—all the issues we work on here.
