Description
The LCDM model has ben challenged many times in the past decade,
mainly by galaxy observations on small scales: from the abundance of
satellites, to the distribution of dark matter within galaxies. In my talk
I will first revise all these claims with the help of cosmological
numerical simulations of galaxy formation from the NIHAO project. I will
then discuss whether there is indeed an observational motivated need
to abandon Cold Dark Matter and move beyond such a simple model.
