Our Galaxy, Andromeda and their companion dwarf galaxies form the Local Group. Most of the mass in and around it is believed to be dark matter rather than gas or stars, so its distribution must be inferred from the effect of gravity on the…

We have obtained Johnson V and Gunn i photometry for a large number of Local Group galaxies using the Isaac Newton Telescope Wide Field Camera (INT WFC). The majority of these galaxies are members of the M31 subgroup and the observations…

The 6-meter BTA telescope has been used to determine radial velocities for 40 galaxies, recently identified in the DESI Legacy Imaging Surveys as nearby objects. Half of them have kinematic distances within 11 Mpc being new probable…

I present a dynamical analysis of the measured redshifts and distances of 64 dwarf galaxies at distances between 50 kpc and 2.6 Mpc. These dwarfs are assumed to move as test particles in the gravitational field of 12 massive…

We present a deep (50 hours exposed) image of the nearby spiral galaxy M 63 (NGC 5055), taken with a 0.14-m aperture telescope. The galaxy halo exhibits the known very faint system of stellar streams extending across 110 kpc. We found 5…

Zehavi et al. (1998) have suggested that the Hubble flow within 70/h Mpc may be accelerated by the existence of a void centered on the Local Group. Its underdensity would be ~20 %, which would result in a local Hubble distortion of about…

The recent re-evaulation of the peculiar velocity field outside the Local Supercluster (Dekel et al. 1999, ApJ 522) has permitted a re-examination of the origins of the peculiar velocity field within the Local Supercluster using the Mark…

We present observations of the Pisces A and B galaxies with the Advanced Camera for Surveys on the Hubble Space Telescope. Photometry from these images clearly resolve a Red Giant Branch for both objects, demonstrating that they are nearby…

Two galaxies that lie deep within the Local Void provide a test of the expectation that voids expand. The modest (M_B~-14) HI bearing dwarf galaxies ALFAZOAJ1952+1428 and KK246 have been imaged with Hubble Space Telescope in order to study…

Dwarf spheroidal galaxies in the Local Group are usually located close to the Milky Way or M31. Currently, there are two clear exceptions to this rule, and the Tucana dwarf galaxy is the most distant at almost 1 Mpc from the Milky Way.…

Based on accurate measurements of distances to nearby galaxies made with Hubble Space Telescope, we determined the radii of the zero-velocity surface: R_0 = 0.96+-0.03 Mpc for the Local Group and R_0 = 0.89+-0.05 Mpc for the group of…

We present analysis of local large scale flows using the Surface Brightness Fluctuation (SBF) Survey for the distances to 300 early-type galaxies. Our models of the distribution function of mean velocity and velocity dispersion at each…

We present multi-band Hubble Space Telescope imaging that spans rest-frame near-ultraviolet through near-infrared wavelengths (0.3-1.1 $\mu$m) for 12 compact starburst galaxies at z=0.4-0.8. These massive galaxies (M_stellar ~ 10^11 M_Sun)…

A wealth of observations have long suggested that the vast majority of isolated classical dwarf galaxies ($M_*=10^7$-$10^9$ M$_\odot$) are currently star-forming. However, recent observations of the large abundance of "Ultra-Diffuse…

We present HI observations of the galaxies in the first list of the Karachentsev catalog of previously unknown nearby dwarf galaxies (Karachentseva & Karachentsev 1998). This survey covers all known nearby galaxy groups within the Local…

Moderate-resolution spectroscopic observations from the Keck 10m telescope are used to derive internal kinematics for eight faint disk galaxies in the fields flanking the Hubble Deep Field. The spectroscopic data are combined with…

Stellar photometry in nine fields around the giant elliptical galaxy M87 in the Virgo cluster is obtained from archival images of the Hubble Space Telescope. The resulting Hertzsprung--Russell diagrams show populated red-giant and AGB…

Rapid advance has been made recently in accurate distance measurements for nearby ($D < 11$ Mpc) galaxies based on the magnitude of the tip of red giant branch stars resolved with the Hubble Space Telescope. We use observational properties…

We present an analysis of Hubble Space Telescope/WFPC2 images of eighteen galaxies in the Canes Venatici I cloud. We derive their distances from the luminosity of the tip of the red giant branch stars with a typical accuracy of ~12 %. The…

Based on the archival images of the Hubble Space Telescope, stellar photometry of the brightest galaxies of the Dorado group: NGC 1433, NGC 1533, NGC 1566 and NGC 1672 was carried out. Red giants were found on the obtained CM diagrams and…
