Title:
Testing Galaxy Formation: Dwarfs in the Pisces-Cetus Supercluster
Project Description:
Galaxy formation models predict the ratio of dwarf to giant galaxies should not change with environment however rich clusters of galaxies do show a much larger dwarf-giant ratio than elsewhere. We will observe dwarfs in the Pisces-Cetus Supercluster (z 0.06 or cz 18,000 km/s) to understand this.
