Abstract

Galaxies and their surroundings imprint shadows on the cosmic microwave background. These shadows contain tantalizing information about galaxy formation: from the baryon density, temperature, pressure, velocities, to the dark matter potential and its time-evolution due to accretion. In this talk, I will review the unique opportunities and challenges in learning about galaxy formation and cosmology from CMB observables.
