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...
The immediate surroundings of our Milky Way galaxy are home to a number of dwarf galaxies, whose variety in shape, size, spatial location and velocity tells us...
The ACS LCID Project - VIII. The short-period Cepheids of Leo A
We present the results of a new search for variable stars in the Local Group dwarf galaxy Leo A, based on deep photometry from the Advanced Camera for Surveys...
The ACS LCID Project. I. Short-Period Variables in the Isolated Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies Cetus and Tucana
We present the first study of the variable star populations in the isolated dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSphs) Cetus and Tucana. Based on Hubble Space Telescope...
The ACS LCID Project. II. Faint Variable Stars in the Isolated Dwarf Irregular Galaxy IC 1613
We present the results of a new search for variable stars in the Local Group (LG) isolated dwarf galaxy IC 1613, based on 24 orbits of F475W and F814W...
