The Andromeda project - I. Deep HST-WFPC2 V, I photometry of 16 fields toward the disk and the halo of the M 31 galaxy. Probing the stellar content and metallicity distribution [PDF]
, 2002 We have obtained HST-WFPC2 F555W and F814W photometry for 16 fields in the vicinity of the luminous nearby spiral galaxy M 31, sampling the stellar content of the disk and the halo at different distances from the center, from ~20 to ~150 arcmin (i.e.

The Dwarf Irregular/Wolf-Rayet Galaxy NGC 4214. I. A New Distance, Stellar Content, and Global Parameters [PDF]
, 2002 We present the results of a detailed optical and near-IR study of the nearby star-forming dwarf galaxy NGC 4214. We discuss the stellar content, drawing particular attention to the intermediate-age and/or old field stars, which are used as a distance ...

The Stellar Content of the COSMOS Field as Derived from Morphological and SED-based Star/Galaxy Separation [PDF]
, 2006 We report on the stellar content of the COSMOS two degree field, as derived from a rigorous star-galaxy separation approach developed for using stellar sources to define the point-spread function variation map used in a study of weak galaxy lensing.

The Stellar Content of Galaxy Halos: A Comparison between ΛCDM Models and Observations of M31 [PDF]
, 2007 Recent observations have revealed that high surface brightness, metal-rich debris is present over large regions of the Andromeda (M31) stellar halo. We use a set of numerical models to determine whether extended metal-rich debris is expected to exist in ...

Stellar Content and Recent Star Formation History of the Local Group Dwarf Irregular Galaxy IC 1613 [PDF]
, 2007 We present resolved-star VI photometry of the Local Group dwarf irregular galaxy IC 1613 reaching I ∼ 23.5, obtained with the wide-field camera at the 2.5 m Isaac Newton Telescope. A fit to the stellar density distribution shows an exponential profile of

The Stellar Content of the Local Group Dwarf Galaxy Phoenix [PDF]
, 1999 We present new deep VI ground-based photometry of the Local Group dwarf galaxy Phoenix. Our results confirm that this galaxy is mainly dominated by red stars, with some blue plume stars indicating recent (100 Myr old) star formation in the central part ...

The Stellar Content of NGC 6789, A Blue Compact Dwarf Galaxy in the Local Void [PDF]
, 2001 We find that NGC 6789 is the most nearby example of a blue compact dwarf galaxy known to date. With the help of the Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 aboard the Hubble Space Telescope, we resolve NGC 6789 into over 15,000 point sources in the V and I bands ...
