Limit points of the branch locus of $\mathcal{M}_g$

Let $\mathcal{M}_{g}$ be the moduli space of compact connected hyperbolic surfaces of genus $g\geq2$, and ${\mathcal B}_g \subset {\mathcal M}_{g}$ its branch locus. Let $\widehat{{\mathcal{M}}_{g}}$ be the Deligne-Mumford compactification of the moduli space of smooth, complete, connected surfaces of genus $g\geq 2$ over $\mathbb{C}$. The branch locus ${\mathcal B}_g$ is stratified by smooth locally closed equisymmetric strata, where a stratum consists of hyperbolic surfaces with equivalent action of their preserving orientation isometry group. Any stratum can be determined by a certain epimorphism $\Phi$. In this paper, for any of these strata, we describe the topological type of its limits points in $\widehat{\mathcal{M}}_g$ in terms of $\Phi$. We apply our method to the $2$-complex dimensional stratum corresponding to the pyramidal hyperbolic surfaces.
