We have discovered 11 ultra-faint ($r\lesssim 22.1$) low surface brightness (LSB, central surface brightness $23\lesssim \mu_r\lesssim 26$) dwarf galaxy candidates in one deep Virgo field of just $576$ arcmin$^2$ obtained by the Large…

We present results from an analysis of $\sim$ 29,000 RR Lyrae stars located in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). For these objects, near-infrared time-series photometry from the VISTA survey of the Magellanic Clouds system (VMC) and optical…

We report the result of searching for globular clusters (GCs) around 55 Milky Way satellite dwarf galaxies within the distance of 450 kpc from the Galactic Center except for the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds and the Sagittarius dwarf.…

We examine the prospects for detecting gamma-rays from dark matter annihilation in the six most promising dwarf spheroidal (dSph) satellite galaxies of the Milky Way. We use recently-measured velocity dispersion profiles to provide a…

RR Lyrae stars being distance indicators and tracers of old population serve as excellent probes of the structure, formation, and evolution of our Galaxy. Thousands of them are being discovered in ongoing wide-field surveys. The OGLE…

We study a sample of 257 Galactic disk M dwarfs (8<M_V<18.5) found in images obtained using HST. These include 192 stars in 22 fields imaged with the repaired WFC2 with mean limiting mag I=23.7 and 65 stars in 162 fields imaged with the…

We report the search of RR Lyrae in the vicinity of a newly discovered ultrafaint dwarf galaxy, Aquarius III. Based on the known RR Lyrae catalogs and $gri$-band light curves retrieved from public archives, we identified a RR Lyrae with…

In this work we use Max-Tree Objects, (MTO) on the FDS data in order to detect previously undetected Low surface brightness (LSB) galaxies. After extending the existing Fornax dwarf galaxy catalogs with this sample, our goal is to…

A recent surge in the discovery of new ultrafaint dwarf satellites of the Milky Way has inspired the idea of searching for faint satellites, $10^3\, \mathrm{M_{\odot}} < M_* < 10^6\, \mathrm{M_{\odot}}$, around less massive field galaxies…

We examine the HI content and environment of all of the Local Group dwarf galaxies (M_tot < 10^10 M_solar), including the numerous newly discovered satellites of the Milky Way and M31. All of the new dwarfs, with the exception of Leo T,…

We present a search and analysis of variable stars in the recently discovered Crater~II dwarf galaxy. Based on $B$, $V$, $I$ data collected with the Isaac Newton Telescope (FoV$\sim$0.44 square degrees) we detected 37 variable stars, of…

Purpose: RR Lyrae stars are important distance indicators. They are usually present in globular clusters where they were first discovered. The study of their properties and distribution in our Galaxy and external galaxies constitutes a…

We report the discovery of one RR Lyrae star in the ultra--faint satellite galaxy Hydra II based on time series photometry in the g, r and i bands obtained with the Dark Energy Camera at Cerro Tololo Interamerican Observatory, Chile. The RR…

We employ a sample of 135,873 RR Lyrae stars (RRLs) with precise photometric-metallicity and distance estimates from the newly calibrated $P$--$\phi_{31}$--$R_{21}$--[Fe/H] and $Gaia$ $G$-band $P$--$R_{21}$--[Fe/H] absolute…

We present HST/ACS observations of RR Lyrae variable stars in six ultra deep fields of the Andromeda galaxy (M31), including parts of the halo, disk, and giant stellar stream. Past work on the RR Lyrae stars in M31 has focused on various…

We report the discovery of a large number of short-period variable stars in the dwarf irregular galaxy NGC6822, based on deep time-series imaging carried out with the ESO Very Large Telescope. In particular, we found a modest population of…

We present a new formalism designed to discover dark matter annihilation occurring in the Milky Way's dwarf galaxies. The statistical framework extracts all available information in the data by simultaneously combining observations of all…

We present our discovery and analysis of dwarf galaxies in the NGC 3585 galaxy group by the KMTNet Supernova Program. Using deep stack images reaching $\simeq$ 28 mag arcsec$^{-2}$ in $BVI$, we discovered 46 dwarf galaxy candidates…

Redshift surveys like the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) have given a very precise measurement of the galaxy luminosity function down to about M_R = -17 (~ M_B = -16). Fainter absolute magnitudes cannot be probed because of the flux limit…

We present a detailed study of the variable star population of Eridanus II (Eri II), an ultra-faint dwarf galaxy that lies close to the Milky Way virial radius. We analyze multi-epoch $g,r,i$ ground-based data from Goodman and the Dark…
