Международная конференция «Nearby Dwarf Galaxies»

Россия, Нижний Архыз

A preliminary scientific program will cover the following main themes
and related topics:

I. Morphological diversity of dwarfs: dIrs, dSphs, dEs, LSBDs,
BCDs, UCDs, their abundance and habitats.
Distance measurement tools: TRGB and SBF vs. others.
Census of dwarfs within the Local Group and the `Local Volume'.
Dwarf galaxies in groups, filaments and voids.
Associations of dwarfs. Dark dwarf galaxy candidates.
Do we need a better morphological classification for dwarfs?
II. HI content and gas kinematics of dIr and BCD galaxies.
Blind HI surveys: HIPASS, ALFALFA, EBHIS, etc.
Resolved HI studies with VLA, ATCA, GMRT, WSRT.
The faint end of the HI mass function.
Future facilities: ALMA, SKA Pathfinders, ATA, etc.
Dark Matter (DM) distribution on smallest scales. Cusps vs. cores.
Extremely DM populated dwarfs.
III. Star formation and evolution in various dwarf types.
H-alpha surveys of dwarfs in the northern and southern sky.
UV (GALEX) and IR (Spitzer) surveys of nearby dwarfs.
Molecular gas in dIrs and BCDs.
Star formation histories of resolved dwarf galaxies.
SFR and chemical evolution: a competition between internal and
external factors.
IV. Dwarf galaxy cosmology: dwarf galaxies as building blocks.
Very metal-poor dwarfs and young/primordial galaxy population.
Local Volume as a laboratory for DM and Dark Energy: crucial
observations. Basic scaling relations: FP or FLine?
Dwarf galaxies as tracers of the Local Hubble flow.
A common mass scale for dwarf satellites. N-body simulations and «missing» dwarfs.
