Project description

Dwarf galaxies hold the key to solve some of the most important questions in current extragalactic astronomy regarding galaxy environment, star formation and dark matter. Through stellar population analysis, dynamical modelling and numerical simulations we will examine the controlling mechanism of star formation, the role of the dark matter, the dwarf dark-matter halo occupancy and the physical processes behind the observed scaling relations.
