The blue plume population in dwarf spheroidal galaxies: young stellar population or genuine blue stragglers?
Y. Momany, E. V. Held, I. Saviane +3
In the context of dwarf spheroidal galaxies it is hard to firmly disentangle a genuine Blue Stragglers (BSS) population from a normal young main (MS) sequence. This difficulty is p…
Near-Infrared photometry of carbon stars in the Sagittarius dwarf irregular galaxy and DDO 210
M. Gullieuszik, M. Rejkuba, M. R. Cioni +2
We investigate the intermediate-age asymptotic giant branch stellar population of two Local Group dwarf irregular galaxies to characterize their carbon star population in near-infr…
Variable stars in the Fornax dSph Galaxy. I. The Globular Cluster Fornax 4
C. Greco, G. Clementini, M. Catelan +8
Variable stars have been identified for the first time in Fornax 4, the globular cluster located near the center of the Fornax dwarf spheroidal galaxy. By applying the image subtra…
The distance to the Fornax Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy
L. Rizzi, E. V. Held, I. Saviane +2
A large multicolour, wide-field photometric database of the Fornax dwarf spheroidal galaxy has been analysed using three different methods to provide revised distance estimates bas…
Near-infrared observations of the Fornax dwarf galaxy. I. The red giant branch
M. Gullieuszik, E. V. Held, L. Rizzi +3
We present a study of the evolved stellar populations in the dwarf spheroidal galaxy Fornax based on JHK imaging photometry. The observations cover an 18.5x18.5 arcmin central area…
