The conference is organized by the Isaac
Newton Group of Telescopes (ING), La Palma, and the Instituto
de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC), Tenerife, Canary
Islands, Spain. The conference will be held at Hotel H10 Taburiente
Playa, Los Cancajos, La Palma. |

Scientific Aim: |
| |
Current cosmological models predict that galaxies form
through the merging of smaller substructures. Satellites and
tidal streams might then represent the visible remains of
the building blocks of giant galaxies. They therefore provide
important information on the merging history and galaxy formation
in the Universe.
In this conference the observational evidence for substructures,
their internal structure and their dynamical evolution and
disruption within the tidal field of the host galaxy will
be discussed and confronted with theoretical cosmological
predictions of hierarchical merging and galaxy formation.
Main topics to be discussed: |
- Dark Matter in Galaxies
- Galactic halo substructure and the formation of the Milky
Way
- Satellites and CDM Models: The dark matter content of
Dwarf Spheroidals
- Mass substructure from gravitational lensing
- Tidal streams and the disruption of satellite galaxies
- Galaxy formation and the faint end of the Luminosity
