Constraining the Low-mass End of the Stellar-to-halo Mass Relation with Surveys of Satellite Galaxies

The abundance of satellite galaxies is set by the hierarchical assembly of their host halo. We leverage this to investigate the low-mass end ( M _H < 10 ^11 M _⊙ ) of the stellar-to-halo mass relation (SHMR), which is key to constraining theories of galaxy formation and cosmology. We argue that r...
