I will discuss results in the realm of dwarf structure and star formation from the Hyper Suprime-Cam Subaru Strategic Program(HSC-SSP) imaging survey, as well as a comparison between the structure of observed dwarfs and the simulated galaxies of the FIRE-2 simulation suite.

Structure, Feedback, and Formation: Dwarf galaxies in the Wide-Field Era

Due to their low halo mass, dwarf galaxies have long been thought to be more sensitive to their environment and to the details of star formation feedback than are more massive galaxies.
