Nearby resolved dwarf galaxies provide excellent opportunities for studying the dust-producing late stages of stellar evolution over a wide range of metallicity (–2.7 lesssim [Fe/H] lesssim –1.0). Here, we describe DUSTiNGS (DUST in Nearby Galaxies w... Read More about An infrared census of dust in nearby galaxies with Spitzer (Dustings). I. Overview.

The star formation history of the Magellanic Clouds derived from long-period variable star counts (2014)

We present the first reconstruction of the star formation history (SFH) of the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds (LMC and SMC) using Long Period Variable stars. These cool evolved stars reach their peak luminosity in the near-infrared; thus, their K-...
