Invited review talk SESSION 5 : Near-field cosmology and galaxy masses beyond the Local Group SESSION 5 : Near-field cosmology and galaxy masses beyond the Local Group

Description

The study of resolved stellar populations in the nearest galaxies, or "near-field cosmology", provides key constraints on the physics underlying galaxy formation and evolution. In this talk, I will present an overview of how deep, wide-field surveys of nearby groups of galaxies allow us to characterize the past and ongoing accretion processes shaping the halos of Milky Way-mass galaxies. This field is set to experience significant advancements with the current and future generations of state-of-the-art telescopes (JWST, Roman, TMT, VRO).
