SUMMARY:Tales from the Milky Way's dwarf galaxies
DESCRIPTION:Tales from the Milky Way's dwarf galaxies\nDr. Shoko Jin\n\nThe
  immediate surroundings of our Milky Way galaxy are home to a number of dw
 arf galaxies, whose variety in shape, size, spatial location and velocity 
 tells us that these Galactic satellites all have different tales to tell. 
 While some look round, pristine and undisturbed, others have disturbed mor
 phologies or show gradients in their metallicity, while yet others have un
 usual kinematic features or clearly show their dissolution into a stellar 
 stream. Very few of them contain significant levels of gas, also prompting
  the question of what mechanism is responsible for stripping out their gas
  content. This talk will explore the eclectic mix of Milky Way dwarf galax
 ies and what their properties can reveal to us about their different stori
 es, and also what they can collectively tell us of our own Galaxy. I will 
 also discuss how looking at the Galactic vicinity is aiding us, via this p
 opulation of Galactic satellites, in the increasingly popular area of near
 -field cosmology.
