A Lack of Planets in 47 Tucanae from an HST Search
Ronald L. Gilliland, T. M. Brown, P. Guhathakurta +21
We report results from a large Hubble Space Telescope project to observe a significant (~34,000) ensemble of main sequence stars in the globular cluster 47 Tucanae with a goal of d…
Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies in the M81 Group Imaged with WFPC2
I. D. Karachentsev, V. E. Karachentseva, A. E. Dolphin +7
We obtained HST/WFPC2 images of the dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxies K61, K63, K64, DDO78, BK6N, and kk77 in the M81 group. Our color-magnitude diagrams show red giant branches wit…
A Dwarf Galaxy Survey in the Local Volume
E. K. Grebel, P. Seitzer, A. E. Dolphin +6
We are carrying out a comprehensive multi-wavelength study of dwarf galaxies in the Local Volume (< 5 Mpc). After our all-sky survey more than doubled the dwarf census we are now m…
Resolved Stellar Populations of Super-Metal-Rich Star Clusters in the Bulge of M31
P. Jablonka, F. Courbin, G. Meylan +3
We have applied the MCS image deconvolution algorithm (Magain, Courbin & Sohy 1998) to HST/WFPC2 V, I data of three M31 bulge globular clusters (G170, G177, and G198) and control f…
