We recently identified a substantial population of galaxies at z>2 with comparatively red rest-frame optical colors. These distant red galaxies (DRGs) are efficiently selected by the simple observed color criterion Js-Ks>2.3. In this paper we present near-infrared spectroscopy with Keck NIRSPEC of six DRGs with previously measured redshifts 2.4

We present deep BVI CCD photometry of the stars in the dwarf galaxy DDO 210. The color-magnitude diagrams of DDO 210 show a well-defined red giant branch (RGB) and a blue plume. The tip of the RGB is found to be at I_TRGB=20.95+/-0.10 mag. From this, the distance to DDO 210 is estimated to be d=950+/-50 kpc. The corresponding distance of DDO 210 to

We present the star formation history (SFH) as a function of galactocentric radius for a sample of isolated dwarf galaxies from the Local Cosmology from the Isolated Dwarfs (LCID) project. The results show a decrease of the star formation with radius for stars with ages ≤ 9 Gyr. Star formation for ages ≥ 10 Gyr is present regardless of distance to

We report the detection of intermediate-age and old stars belonging to the SMC at 6.5 kpc from the SMC center in the southern direction. We show, from the analysis of three high-quality 34'×33' CMDs, that the age composition of the stellar population is similar at galactocentric distances of ~4.7, ~5.6, and ~6.5 kpc.
