During Cycle 14 a total of 113 HST orbits were secured to observe five isolated dwarf galaxies, namely Tucana, LGS3, LeoA, IC1613, and Cetus. The aim of the...
The ACS LCID Project: Old Main Sequence Turnoff Photometry of Isolated Local Group Dwarf Galaxies
The details of the early star formation history of isolated dwarf galaxies can shed light on the role of the cosmic re-ionization and supernova feedback in...
The star formation history (SFH) of Local Group galaxies is a powerful tool for studying their evolution, including chemical enrichment histories and stellar...
The ACS LCID Project: RR Lyrae Stars and Cepheids in Local Group Galaxies
We present results of the search for variable stars in a sample of Local Group isolated dwarf galaxies, namely LGS3, IC1613, Cetus, and Tucana, based on very...
The ACS LCID project: Variable stars as tracers of population gradients
We present a few highlights concerning the search for short-period variable stars in four galaxies, namely IC 1613, LGS3, Cetus and Tucana, based on very deep...
The ACS Survey of Galactic Globular Clusters: Absolute Ages
The ACS Survey of Galactic globular clusters is a Hubble Space Telescope Treasury program which has obtained deep, high quality photometry of 65 clusters. The...
The MAGIC Cherenkov telescope with its 17 m diameter mirror is the worldwide largest dedicated Cherenkov telescope [1][2]. One of the main goals in the design...
One of the main design goals of the MAGIC telescopes is the very fast repositioning in case of e.g. GRB alarms, implying a low weight of the reflector dish...
The active phasing experiment: Part I. Concept and objectives
In a framework of ELT design study our group is building an Active Phasing Experiment (APE), the main goals of which is to demonstrate the non-adaptive...
