Title: The Co-evolution of Dwarf/Dark Galaxies and Dark Matter Haloes in ΛCDM Simulations
Abstract: Dwarf galaxies, as systems dominated by dark matter, are regarded as one of the most sensitive laboratories for testing dark matter and galaxy formation models. In this talk, I plan to take a few historical and current challenges with ΛCDM at the dwarf galaxy scale as a narrative thread (e.g., missing satellites, core-cusp problem etc.), discussing possible solutions suggested by cosmological simulations within the ΛCDM framework, and how these studies may enlighten us about the co-evolution between dwarfs (including dark galaxies) and dark matter haloes, as well as the nature of dark matter.
