Title

Cold Dark Matter Halos and Subhalos: A challenge for, or a success of, the structure formation paradigm?.

Abstract I will review recent results of very high resolution numerical simulations of Cold Dark Matter halos and substructure halos (subhalos), and will discuss them in the context of observations of individual galaxies. In particular, I will emphasize how observations of the structure and evolution of Local Group galaxies and satellites might be used to probe the LCDM paradigm on the smallest scales.
