    The Brightest Young Star Clusters in NGC 5253.
    The nearby dwarf starburst galaxy NGC 5253 hosts a number of young, massive star clusters, the two youngest of which are centrally concentrated and surrounded...

    The bursty star formation history of the Fornax dwarf spheroidal galaxy revealed with the HST
    We present a new derivation of the star formation history (SFH) of the dSph galaxy Fornax in two central regions, characterized by unprecedented precision and...

    The C+N+O Abundance of ω Centauri Giant Stars: Implications for the Chemical-enrichment Scenario and the Relative Ages of Different Stellar Populations
    We present a chemical-composition analysis of 77 red-giant stars in Omega Centauri. We have measured abundances for carbon and nitrogen, and combined our...

    The Carbon Star DY Persei May Be a Cool R Coronae Borealis Variable
    Optical and near-IR photometry suggests that the carbon star DY Persei exhibits fadings similar to those of R Coronae Borealis (RCB) variables. Photometric...

    The Carina Project IX: On Hydrogen and Helium Burning Variables
    We present new multiband (UBVI) time-series data of helium burning variables in the Carina dwarf spheroidal galaxy. The current sample includes 92 RR Lyrae—six...

    The Carina Project. IV. Radial Velocity Distribution
    We present new and accurate radial velocity (RV) measurements of luminous stars of all ages (old horizontal branch, intermediate-age red clump, and young blue...

    The Carina Project. V. The Impact of NLTE Effects on the Iron Content
    We have performed accurate iron abundance measurements for 44 red giants (RGs) in the Carina dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxy. We used archival, high-resolution...

    The Carina Project. VI. The Helium-burning Variable Stars
    We present new optical (BVI) time-series data for the evolved variable stars in the Carina dwarf spheroidal galaxy. The quality of the data and the observing...

    The Carina Project. VII. Toward the Breaking of the Age-Metallicity Degeneracy of Red Giant Branch Stars Using the C U, B, I Index
    We present an analysis of photometric and spectroscopic data of the Carina dSph galaxy, testing a new approach similar to that used to disentangle multiple...
