Substructure in low mass isolated dwarf galaxiesInvestigating whether substructures are visible around low mass isolated dwarf galaxies in order to understand their satellite mass functions and place constraints on our concordant dark matter model and galaxy feedback mechanisms. Our accepted cosmological model predicts the presence of substructure for galaxies across all mass scales, which if found even at the lowest galaxy mass scales would show evidence of hierarchical merging, or else will place constraints on the galaxy mass at which luminous substructure is no longer observed.
