Description
CCD photometry of resolved dwarf irregular galaxies was obtained with the 4-m Cerro Tololo Interamerican Observatory telescope in February 1985. BV data from 77 stars in DDO 187 are used to infer a distance modulus of 28.2 + or - 0.6, placing this galaxy out of the Local Group, at a distance of 4.4 + or - 1.0 Mpc. In the second part, UBV photometry of 142 resolved stars in GR 8 is presented. The results show a distance modulus of 25.0 for GR 8. It is suggested that metal enriched gas loss is required (probably together with a low upper mass limit in the IMF) to explain the metallicity of this galaxy, and that a star formation burst mode is necessary to explain the blue colors of GR 8.

    Six microlensing planets detected via sub-day signals during the 2023–2024 season
    Aims. We present analyses of six microlensing events: KMT-2023-BLG-0548, KMT-2023-BLG-0830, KMT-2023-BLG-0949, KMT-2024-BLG-1281, KMT-2024-BLG-2059, and KMT-2024-BLG-2242. These were identified in KMTNet data from the 2023–2024 seasons, selected for exhibiting anomalies shorter than one day – potential signatures of low-mass planetary companions

    Euclid: Photometric redshift calibration performance with the clustering-redshifts technique in the Flagship 2 simulation
    Aims. The precision of cosmological constraints from imaging surveys hinges on an accurately estimated redshift distribution n(z) of the tomographic bins, especially their mean redshifts. We assess the effectiveness of the clustering-redshifts technique in constraining Euclid tomographic redshift bins to meet the target uncertainty of σ(⟨z⟩) < 0

    Beyond the Nyquist frequency: Asteroseismic catalog of undersampled Kepler late subgiants and early red giants
    Subgiants and early red giants are crucial for studying the first dredge-up, a key evolutionary phase in which the convective envelope deepens, mixing previously interior-processed material and bringing it to the surface. Yet, very few have been seismically characterized with Kepler because their oscillation frequencies are close to the 30 minute
