"Interpreting Dwarf Galaxies"
Dwarf galaxies have long provided a challenge to galaxy formation theory within the favored Lambda Cold Dark Matter cosmology. In recent years, advances in cosmological simulations of galaxies have yielded new insights into dwarf formation, pointing to the fact that baryonic physics can reconcile tensions between theory and observations.
Different simulators are generally now capable of forming realistic classical dwarf galaxies despite variations in adopted star formation and feedback recipes. However, as simulations achieve ever-higher...
