We present the star formation history of UGCA 290, a galaxy with properties intermediate between Blue Compact Dwarfs and Dwarf Irregulars. This galaxy is particularly interesting because its young stellar population is extremely similar to…
We present V and I photometry of the resolved stars in the cometary blue compact dwarf galaxy UGC 4483 using Hubble Space Telescope Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 (WFPC2) images. The resulting I vs. (V-I) color-magnitude diagram (CMD)…
We present results from new deep HST/ACS photometry of I Zw 18, the most metal-poor blue compact dwarf galaxy in the nearby universe. It has been previously argued that this is a very young system that started forming stars only < 500 Myr…
We present $V$ and $I$ CCD photometry for $\sim360$ stars in the recently discovered dwarf galaxy Tucana. The large field investigated and the accurate photometric calibration make our data complementary to the deeper HST photometry. From…
We find that NGC6789 is the most nearby example of a Blue Compact Dwarf galaxy known to date. With the help of WFPC2 aboard the Hubble Space Telescope, we resolve NGC6789 into over 15,000 point sources in the V and I bands. The young stars…
We present evidence for the existence of an old stellar halo in the Blue Compact Dwarf galaxy VII Zw 403. VII Zw 403 is the first Blue Compact Dwarf galaxy for which a clear spatial segregation of the resolved stellar content into a…
HST WFPC2 observations of the nearby Blue Compact Dwarf Galaxy VII~Zw~403 (= UGC 6456) resolve single stars down to M$_I$$\approx$-2.5, deep enough to identify red giants. This population has a more uniform spatial distribution than the…
We report the results of near-IR imaging in J and H, of I Zw 36 ($\approx$Z$_{\odot}$/14) with the Hubble Space Telescope. Whereas imaging with the pre-COSTAR Faint Object Camera (FOC) previously resolved hot and massive stars in the…
We observed the Blue Compact Dwarf/Wolf-Rayet galaxy Mrk 178 with the NICMOS camera aboard HST. The galaxy is well resolved into individual stars in the near-IR; photometry in J and H yields color-magnitude diagrams containing 791…
We present results from an HST/ACS imaging study of the metal-poor blue compact dwarf galaxy SBS 1415+437. It has been argued previously that this is a very young galaxy that started to form stars only less than 100 Myr ago. However, we…
We present new V and I-band HST/ACS photometry of I Zw 18, the most metal-poor blue compact dwarf (BCD) galaxy in the nearby universe. It has been argued in the past that I Zw 18 is a very young system that started forming stars only < 500…
We present Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and Spitzer Space Telescope images and photometry of the extremely metal-poor (Z = 0.03 Z_sol) blue dwarf galaxy CGCG 269-049. The HST images reveal a large population of red giant and asymptotic…
With the William Herschel Telescope in La Palma we made IJKs observations of an area of about 40'x30' of the Local Group galaxy Draco. This allows us to describe Draco's late-type stellar population across the whole galaxy at a photometric…
We present the results of a detailed optical and near-IR study of the nearby star-forming dwarf galaxy NGC4214. We discuss the stellar content, drawing particular attention to the intermediate-age and/or old field stars, which are used as a…
We present V and I photometry of the resolved stars in the most metal-deficient blue compact dwarf galaxy known, I Zw 18 (Zsun/50), using Hubble Space Telescope/Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) images, the deepest ones ever obtained for…
We present deep Hubble Space Telescope Advanced Camera for Surveys / High Resolution Channel U, narrow-V, and I images of nine "ultracompact" blue dwarf galaxies (UCBDs) selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. We define UCBDs as local…
Spectra for stars located redward of the fiducial red giant branches of the Ursa Minor and Draco dwarf spheroidal galaxies have been obtained with the Hobby-Eberly telescope and the Marcario Low Resolution Spectrometer. From a comparison of…
We present near-infrared single-star photometry for the low-metallicity Blue Compact Dwarf galaxy VII~Zw~403. We achieve limiting magnitudes of F110W~$\approx$~25.5 and F160W~$\approx$~24.5 using one of the NICMOS cameras with the HST…
The stellar population of the Pegasus dwarf irregular galaxy is investigated in images taken in the F439W (B), F555W (V), and F814W (I) bands with WFPC2. These and ground-based data are combined to produce color-magnitude diagrams which…
We use a combined imaging and spectroscopic survey of the nearby central cluster galaxy, M87, to assemble a sample of 34 confirmed ultra compact dwarfs (UCDs) with half-light radii of >~ 10 pc measured from Hubble Space Telescope images.…
