5. Abstract

We will use advanced cosmological simulations to model the formation and evolution
of dwarfs spheroidal galaxies. The resolution of the simulations will be sufficient
to fully resolve the internal structure of dwarf spheroidals. The results of the
simulations will be compared to the observational data, including the color-
magnitude diagrams of dwarfs spheroidals, obtained by the HST.
