SUMMARY:The Smallest and Faintest Galaxies: Clues to the Nature of Dar
 k Matter and Galaxy Formation\, Astronomy Colloquium\, Burçin Mutlu-P
 akdil\, Dartmouth University
DESCRIPTION:The smallest and faintest galaxies around the Milky Way ar
 e the most ancient\, most metal-poor\, and most dark-matter-dominated 
 systems known. These extreme objects offer unique access to small scal
 es where the stellar and dark matter content can be studied simultaneo
 usly. They hold the promise of major breakthroughs in understanding th
 e nature of dark matter and a more complete picture of galaxy formatio
 n. Thus\, their discovery and characterization are among the most impo
 rtant goals in the field. In this talk\, I will share our ongoing obse
 rvational efforts to detect these faint systems around the Milky Way a
 nd beyond\, and upcoming advances in the era of deep and wide imaging 
 instrumentation\, with a focus on their implications.
