Stellar kinematics and dark matter in dwarf galaxies
In this review I will discuss the current status on determinations of the dark matter content and distribution in Milky Way dwarf spheroidals, for which the...
Stellar metallicity gradients of Local Group dwarf galaxies
Aims: We explore correlations between the strength of metallicity gradients in Local Group dwarf galaxies and their stellar mass, star formation history...
Stellar populations as a test for the stellar evolution
The understanding of complex stellar populations and their star formation histories relies on the stellar evolution theory as much as the improvement of our...
The small and elusive Carina dSph still presents many open questions concerning its stellar populations and dynamical evolution. It presents a unique star...
Stellar populations in the Local Group starburst galaxy IC10
We present preliminary results of a photometric investigation on IC10 using data collected with ACS@HSTS and WFPC2@HST. We estimate the distance using the Tip...
Stellar populations in the Local Group starburst galaxy IC10
We present preliminary results of a photometric investigation on IC10 using F555W and F814W data collected with WFPC2@HST covering two different regions. We...
Study of the Sextans dwarf spheroidal galaxy from the DART Ca II triplet survey
We use Very Large Telescope (VLT)/Fibre Large Array Multi Element Spectrograph (FLAMES) intermediate-resolution (R˜ 6500) spectra of individual red giant branch...
Studying old populations with RR Lyrae Variables in the Local Group
We want to study the characteristics and the physical extent of the old populations in a sample of Local Group galaxies in different environments, from the dSph...
