Star Formation Histories of Local Group Dwarf Galaxies
Andrew E. Dolphin, Daniel R. Weisz, Evan D. Skillman +1
We report preliminary results of a project to homogeneously measure star formation histories for the majority of Local Group dwarf galaxies, based on archival WFPC2 observations. F…
WFPC2 CTE Characterization
Andrew E. Dolphin
The limiting factor of the accuracy of WFPC2 photometry is the CTE loss, which has increased to the level of 50% or more for faint stars at the top of the chips. I describe recent…
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…
The dwarf spheroidal galaxy DDO 44: stellar populations and distance
I. D. Karachentsev, M. E. Sharina, E. K. Grebel +7
We present ground-based and HST WFPC2 imaging of the nearby low surface brightness dwarf spheroidal galaxy DDO 44. For the first time DDO 44 was resolved into stars. The resulting…
