Within the Local Universe galaxies can be studied in great detail star by star, and here we
review the results of quantitative studies in nearby dwarf galaxies. The color-magnitude …

We review and discuss horizontal branch (HB) stars in a broad astrophysical context,
including both variable and non-variable stars. A reassessment of the Oosterhoff dichotomy …

We present a synthesis of recent photometric and kinematic data for several of the most dark
matter dominated galaxies, the dwarf spheroidal Galactic satellites, and compare them to …

We present a deep photometric survey of the Andromeda galaxy, conducted with the wide-
field cameras of CFHT and INT, that covers the inner 50 kpc of the galaxy and the southern …

We use Gaia DR2 astrometric and photometric data, published radial velocities and mesa
models to infer distances, orbits, surface gravities, and effective temperatures for all ultra …

We use a combined imaging and spectroscopic survey of the nearby central cluster galaxy,
M87, to assemble a sample of 34 confirmed ultracompact dwarfs (UCDs) with half-light radii …

In this study we present the results from realistic N-body modelling of massive star clusters in
the Magellanic Clouds. We have computed eight simulations with N∼ 105 particles; six of …

We report the discovery of 59 globular clusters (GCs) and two candidate GCs in a search of
the halo of M31, primarily via visual inspection of Canada–France–Hawaii …

We use a sample of newly discovered globular clusters from the Pan-Andromeda
Archaeological Survey (PAndAS) in combination with previously cataloged objects to map …

We present a new satellite in the outer halo of the Galaxy, the first Milky Way satellite found
in the stacked photometric catalog of the Panoramic Survey Telescope and Rapid Response …
