Dwarf Galaxies Polychronis Papaderos This advanced course aims at providing a broad and up-to-date overview of the properties of dwarf galaxies in the local Universe and at intermediate redshift. How dwarf galaxies form and evolve over cosmic time in different environments is one of the most fascinating and fundamental questions in extragalactic astronomy. Session 1 16 May 2013 Dwarf galaxy taxonomy; Session 2 20 May 2013 Early-type and late-type dwarf galaxies in the local Universe: structural, chemical and kinematical properties, fundamental relations; Session 3 6 June 2013 Starburst activity in dwarf galaxies: origin and implications. Session 4 7 June 2013 Extremely metal-poor star-forming dwarf galaxies; |
