The Milky Way and the Local Group (MWLG)
  • Publication
    On the Density Profile of the Globular Cluster M92
    We present new number density and surface brightness profiles for the globular cluster M92 (NGC 6341). These profiles are calculated from optical images...
  • Publication
    On the Distance and Reddening of the Starburst Galaxy IC 10
    We present deep and accurate optical photometry of the Local Group starburst galaxy IC 10. The photometry is based on two sets of images collected with the...
  • Publication
    On the dust content of galaxy clusters
    Context. Most of the contribution to dust emission in clusters of galaxies comes from late-type galaxies. However, several ejection processes of material from...
  • Publication
    On the Dwarf Irregular Galaxy NGC 6822. I. Young, Intermediate, and Old Stellar Populations
    We present accurate and deep multiband (g, r, i) photometry of the Local Group dwarf irregular galaxy NGC 6822. The images were collected with wide-field...
  • Publication
    On the early evolution of Local Group dwarf galaxy types: star formation and supernova feedback
    According to star formation histories (SFHs), Local Group dwarf galaxies can be broadly classified in two types: those forming most of their stars before z = 2...
  • Publication
    On the Extended Structure of the Phoenix Dwarf Galaxy
    We present the star formation history (SFH) and its variations with galactocentric distance for the Local Group dwarf galaxy of Phoenix. They have been derived...
  • Publication
    On the Kinematic Separation of Field and Cluster Stars across the Bulge Globular NGC 6528
    We present deep and precise multi-band photometry of the Galactic bulge globular cluster NGC 6528. The current data set includes optical and near-infrared...
  • Publication
    On the Metamorphosis of the Bailey Diagram for RR Lyrae Stars
    We collected over 6000 high-resolution spectra of four dozen field RR Lyrae (RRL) variables pulsating either in the fundamental (39 RRab) or in the first...
  • Publication
    On the missing second generation AGB stars in NGC 6752
    In recent years the view of Galactic globular clusters as simple stellar populations has changed dramatically, it is now thought that basically all globular...
