SUMMARY:Dwarf Galaxies:  Fossils of Galaxy Evolution\, Astronomy Collo
 quium\, Professor Eva Grebel\, Bautz Lecturer\, University of Heidelbe
 rg
DESCRIPTION:"Dwarf galaxies are the most common type of galaxy in the 
 Universe and include the most dark-matter-dominated objects known.  Th
 ey offer intriguing insights into evolutionary processes at low halo m
 asses and low metallicities. Moreover\, as survivors of a once much mo
 re numerous population of building blocks of larger galaxies\, they ar
 e key to understanding very early star formation processes.  The Local
  Group and particularly the Milky Way's dwarf galaxy entourage offer u
 s the unique possibility to compare in detail dwarf and Galactic popul
 ations. This is an important step towards quantifying the magnitude an
 d time scales of dwarf contributions to the build-up of the Milky Way 
 and allows us to test predictions of cosmological theories and hierarc
 hical structure formation."
