    Luminous Red Stars in Local Group Dwarf Elliptical Galaxies: an Intermediate-Age Population?
    In this Letter, we show that the optically bright stars above the tip of the first red giant branch (TRGB) in the color-magnitude diagrams (CMDs) of nearby...

    Mass-metallicity relation of dwarf galaxies and its dependency on time: clues from resolved systems and comparison with massive galaxies
    Aims: We present a new approach to study the mass-metallicity relation and its dependency on time. Methods: We used the star formation history (SFH) derived...

    Massive OB stars at varying Z
    Massive stars play a key role in environments with very different metallicities. To interpret the role of massive stars in these systems we have to know their...

    Merger traces in the spatial distribution of stellar populations in the Fornax dSph galaxy
    We present a comprehensive and detailed study of the stellar populations of the Fornax dwarf spheroidal galaxy. We analyse their spatial distributions along the...

    Microlensing toward Crowded Fields: Theory and Applications to M31
    We present a comprehensive treatment of the pixel-lensing theory and apply it to lensing experiments and their results toward M31. Using distribution functions...

    No sign (yet) of intergalactic globular clusters in the Local Group
    We present Gemini Multi-Object Spectrograph (GMOS) imaging of 12 candidate intergalactic globular clusters (IGCs) in the Local Group, identified in a recent...
