Testing the Surface Brightness Fluctuation Method on Dwarf Galaxies in the COSMOS Field [PDF]
, 2023 Dwarf galaxies are important tracers of small-scale cosmological structure, yet much of our knowledge about these systems comes from the limited sample of dwarf galaxies within the Local Group.

Surface-brightness fluctuations in stellar populations [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2006 Abstract A new theoretical calibration of surface-brightness fluctuations (SBF) for single age, single metallicity stellar populations is presented for the optical and near-IR broad-band filters, as well as for the HST WFPC2 filters. The IAC-star code is used together with two Padua and the Teramo stellar evolution libraries.

Infrared Surface Brightness Fluctuations of Magellanic Star Clusters [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2004 We present surface brightness fluctuations (SBFs) in the near--IR for 191 Magellanic star clusters available in the Second Incremental and All Sky Data releases of the Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS), and compare them with SBFs of Fornax Cluster galaxies and with predictions from stellar population models. Our goals are twofold.

Astrophysical JournalThe surface brightness fluctuation (SBF) method is a robust and efficient way of measuring distances to galaxies containing evolved stellar populations. Although many recent applications of the method have used space-based imaging, SBF remains a powerful

Towards gradient detection of surface brightness fluctuations
, 2022 Abstract: Surface Brightness Fluctuations (SBF) magnitudes have been proved as a potential tool for the study of composite stellar populations in galaxies. In particular, we focus on the detection of metal-poor secondary components in metal-rich dominated early type galaxies. Our current work consists in studying radial profiles of SBFs, hence we study
