Title:  "Satellite Galaxies: Who, What, Where, How, and Why?"

Abstract:

I will survey a number of recent exciting results concerning the small
satellite galaxies that surround larger, more familiar galaxies. I will
introduce some nearby satellite galaxies (who are they?), and focus on
the questions of what they are made of, where they are located, how
they interact with their parent galaxies, and why they are so important
to our understanding of galaxy formation and evolution.
