Abstract

I analyze the properties of the first galaxies in cosmological simulations with radiative feedback. Preliminary results indicate similarities with the observed properties of the bulk of dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSphs) in the Local Group and Andromeda. I briefly discuss observational tests that could help in understanding the impact of a population of small primordial objects on the cosmic evolution.
