Description
The Local Universe offers a unique window into the process of hierarchical mass assembly across all scales. In particular, the Local Group provides an exceptional opportunity to study different types of galaxies in detail, for instance gas-rich, interacting galaxies and gas-poor, isolated systems.
Investigating the chemical composition of stars in galaxies with diverse star formation and chemical enrichment histories is key to understanding the formation and evolution of our Local Universe.
In this talk, I will review the current state of knowledge on the chemical composition of the smallest galaxies in the Local Group, highlighting the key questions that the future advent of WST will help address.
