Dark Matter and the Dance of Dwarf Galaxies
Event Start:
2018-10-29T15:00:00
Event End:
2018-10-29T16:15:00
Event Information:
Major galaxies such as the Milky Way are surrounded by swarms of smaller dwarf satellite galaxies. Over the past 15 years, our knowledge of these satellite galaxies has exploded. The number of known Milky Way satellites has quadrupled, and highly precise measurements of their motions, with the Hubble Space Telescope and most recently with Gaia, have provided unprecedented insights into their complex orbital dance.
Event Location:
