Cosmology - DM Halo - Local Group - Risa Wechsler (Stanford)

Explore the intricate connections between cosmology, dark matter halos, and the local group of galaxies in this 29-minute lecture by Risa Wechsler from Stanford University. Delve into cutting-edge research on galaxy formation and evolution, examining how advanced statistical and machine learning techniques are revolutionizing our understanding of these cosmic structures. Discover how current and future surveys, including Integral Field Unit observations, are providing unprecedented data on galactic spectra and morphology. Learn about the potential of data science tools in linking observational data with theoretical models, such as cosmological simulations and semi-analytic approaches. Gain insights into the broader context of the "Galaxy Evolution in the Era of Large Surveys" conference, which aims to maximize the application of data-driven tools in uncovering the physics of galaxy formation and evolution.
