Baryons at Low Densities: the Stellar Halos around Galaxies

This workshop will bring together theorists and observers to discuss the results from the space and ground-based surveys of stellar halos in disks and ellipticals as well as from simulations. The properties of the Milky Way halo will also be discussed as representative of those of a halo around a spiral disk galaxy, with the main focus of the workshop being on extragalactic stellar halos. The aim is to review our knowledge (or lack thereof) about the physical properties of stellar halos and their origin in the context of cosmological predictions.
