SUMMARY:The Next Frontier of Low-Mass Galaxy Formation - Dan Weisz (Berkel

DESCRIPTION:Satellite galaxies of the Milky Way (MW) have long provided st
 ringent tests of cosmic reionization\, cold dark matter\, and the physics 
 of galaxy formation on the smallest scales. However\, there is growing evi
 dence that the MW satellites may not be broadly representative. Specifical
 ly\, I will describe how new understanding of our nearest neighbor M31 and
  its satellites raise questions about whether insights established in MW s
 atellites are generally applicable to low-mass systems or stem from the sp
 ecific accretion history of the MW. I will present early data from the ong
 oing 244 orbit Hubble Space Telescope Treasury program aimed at establishi
 ng the M31 ecosystem as the next frontier for low-mass galaxy studies. Fin
 ally\, I will describe how our Early Release Science program will establis
 h JWST as the leader in low-mass galaxy studies throughout the Local Volum
 e.
