Low mass galaxies and the growth of galaxy halos

该项目旨在了解形成低质量星系的演化过程，并测试当前关于低质量星系持续吸积导致星系晕增长的理论。利用世界上最大的望远镜上的新仪器，该项目打算进行第一次调查，直接将星系晕与它们预期的起源联系起来。该项目计划将低质量星系的性质与星系晕中看到的子结构进行比较，据预测，星系晕将产生于此类低质量星系。

This project aims to understand the evolutionary processes that shape low-mass galaxies and test current theories for the growth of galaxy halos from the continued accretion of low mass galaxies. Using new instrumentation on the world's largest telescope, the project intends to conduct the first survey to directly link galaxy halos with their expected origin. The project plans to compare the properties of low-mass galaxies with the substructures seen in galaxy halos, which are predicted to arise from such low-mass galaxies.
