SUMMARY:The Local Group as a cosmological probe: dwarf galaxies\, stellar 
 streams\, and stellar halos - Nicolas Martin (Strasbourg)

CONTACT:Martin Haehnelt
DESCRIPTION:The salience of satellite dwarf galaxies for understanding gal
 axy formation in a cosmological context has been made all the more evident
  in the past decade with the discovery of numerous faint Local Group galax
 ies as well as stellar streams\, the remnant of their accreted counterpart
 s. These faint systems are not only important to understand the faint end 
 of galaxy formation but also their distribution around their host can test
  the hierarchical formation induced by the favored cosmological paradigm. 
 I will review our successful effort to mine the two most ambitious surveys
  of the surroundings of the Milky\nWay and Andromeda galaxies\, Pan-STARRS
 1 and PAndAS\, for numerous new dwarf galaxies and stellar structures.\n
