DESCRIPTION:Lambda Cold Dark Matter (LCDM) is the most successful theory f
 or the formation of structure in the Universe. Although its predictions ha
 ve been verified on large scales\, they are still contested on the scale o
 f dwarf galaxies\, whose dynamical properties are often cited as evidence 
 for the need to revise some of LCDM’s basic tenets. In this context\, I 
 will discuss the recent discovery of the faintest galaxies known to date\,
  and how their properties may be used to place constraints on the clusteri
 ng of dark matter on the smallest galactic and sub-galactic scales\, as we
 ll as on the viability of some of the proposed alternatives to LCDM.\nAbou
 t the speaker: Julio Navarro is a Landsdowne science professor of Astrophy
 sics at the University of Victoria\, Canada. He is an internationally reco
 gnized name in the fields of theoretical galaxy formation\, dark matter an
 d cosmology. More specifically\, he has a number of pioneering works in th
 e studying the structure of cold dark matter halos (Navarro-Frenk-White ha
 lo profile) and their substructures. \n \nIn the OKC: June 8 - 12 \n\nh
