Description
The cosmological model dominated by dark matter and dark energy has proven to be very successful in explaining the structure formation on large scales (>~1Mpc). There are so-called `small-scale problems’ of the Lambda-CDM model, however, many of them can be solved by astrophysical effects of baryons and feedback. I will review some of these issues, and discuss the current efforts in taking the next step in galaxy formation research using cosmological hydrodynamic simulations.
