Dwarf Galaxies challenge standard cosmological model

Dwarf galaxies are emerging as one of the greatest challenges to modern astrophysics. A team of researchers from IAC are studying these small galaxies to understand why they do not always match the predictions of the standard cosmological model.

New Delhi: Dwarf galaxies are the smallest and most abundant systems in the Universe, and are exposing major gaps in the standard cosmological model. Astronomers from the Universidad de La Laguna and the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) have embarked on the INGENIO project to use high-resolution cosmological simulations to reconstruct the Local Group environment around the Milky Way, which is surrounded by a flock of small........
