DESCRIPTION:Title: Small Statistics No More: a suite of galaxy simulations 
 to interpret observations\n\nAbstract: The past decade has seen tremendous
  progress in simulating realistic dwarf galaxies.  Despite the hype\, not 
 all dwarfs are simulated equally.  Given their shallow potential wells\, d
 warfs are an excellent probe of star formation and feedback processes.  In
  this talk\, I'll outline a campaign to simulate the largest suite of dwar
 f galaxies to date\, in environments both near the Milky Way (the DC Justi
 ce League simulations) and further afield (the Marvel simulations).  These
  high resolution simulations are probing dwarf galaxy formation from LMC-m
 ass scales down into the regime of the ultra-faints for the first time.  O
 ur realistic dwarf galaxies can be used to interpret galaxy formation and 
 to make predictions for upcoming surveys such as LSST at the Vera Rubin Ob
 servatory. Controlled tests with the simulated dwarfs may also reveal clue
 s about how the first stellar populations formed.\n\nHosted by CMU
