Radial Velocities of Galactic Halo Stars in Virgo
We present multi-slit radial velocity measurements for 111 stars in the direction of the Virgo Stellar Stream (VSS). The stars were photometrically selected to...

PublicationResolved stellar populations in dSphs. What can they tell us about galaxy evolution?We present a comprehensive photometric study of the Fornax and the Andromeda II dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxies. It is based on the up-to-date deepest...
-
PublicationRotating stellar populations in the Fornax dSph galaxyWe present a novel analysis of the internal kinematics of the Fornax dwarf spheroidal galaxy. Our results are based on the largest sample of spectroscopic data...

PublicationSeeking footprints of the primeval Universe in dwarf galaxiesWe present the star formation histories (SFHs) of four isolated dwarf galaxies, Cetus, Tucana, LGS-3, and Phoenix, as a function of galactocentric radius. Our...
