THE ACS NEARBY GALAXY SURVEY TREASURY (2007, methodology): “As has been discussed extensively elsewhere (e.g., Gallart et al. 2005, and references therein), the simulated CMDs show how young stellar populations are found primarily in the upper left of the CMD, older stellar populations are found at lower luminosities and redder colors along the red giant…”
The star formation and chemical evolution history of the Fornax dwarf spheroidal galaxy (2012, methodology): “…ages to adopt in the SFH solution is motivated by previous derivations of the SFH of the Fornax dSph. Previous work has shown that Fornax contains stars covering all ages, from ancient (≥10 Gyr) to very young (≤1 Gyr) ages (Buonanno et al. 1999; Gallart et al. 2005; Coleman & de Jong 2008).”
COMPARISON OF Hα AND UV STAR FORMATION RATES IN THE LOCAL VOLUME: SYSTEMATIC DISCREPANCIES FOR DWARF GALAXIES (2009, background): “It should be kept in mind, however, that the evolution of massive stars at sub-solar metallicity is currently ill-constrained due to uncertainties in stellar rotation and mixing which may amplify this effect (e.g., Gallart et al. 2005, Leitherer 2008 and references therein).”
AGE DETERMINATION OF SIX INTERMEDIATE-AGE SMALL MAGELLANIC CLOUD STAR CLUSTERS WITH HST/ACS (2008, unknown): “Figures 18, 22, and 30 reflect the general failure of the chosen stellar evolutionary models to simultaneously reproduce all of the major features of CMDs (e.g., Gallart et al. 2005) in spite of the excellent fit to the lower RGB, SGB, and MS.”
THE ACS NEARBY GALAXY SURVEY TREASURY. IX. CONSTRAINING ASYMPTOTIC GIANT BRANCH EVOLUTION WITH OLD METAL-POOR GALAXIES (2010, background): “This contrasts sharply with other evolutionary phases like the main sequence and red giant branch (RGB), for which the evolutionary times are known with errors smaller than a few tenths, as demonstrated by a large variety of observations (see Gallart et al. 2005, and references therein).”
THE METALLICITY DISTRIBUTION FUNCTIONS OF SEGUE G AND K DWARFS: CONSTRAINTS FOR DISK CHEMICAL EVOLUTION AND FORMATION (2011, background): “The various assumptions integrated into each of these different isochrone sets means that for each (g − r) color, there is a range of appropriate r magnitude about the YREC value (Gallart et al. 2005).”
THE STAR FORMATION HISTORIES OF LOCAL GROUP DWARF GALAXIES. I. HUBBLE SPACE TELESCOPE/WIDE FIELD PLANETARY CAMERA 2 OBSERVATIONS (2014, methodology): “Stars below the oldest MSTO are largely insensitive to SFH (e.g., Gallart et al. 2005), and therefore do not provide additional constraints on the SFH of a galaxy.”
THE ACS NEARBY GALAXY SURVEY TREASURY. VIII. THE GLOBAL STAR FORMATION HISTORIES OF 60 DWARF GALAXIES IN THE LOCAL VOLUME (2011, methodology): “The deepest ANGST CMDs do not reach the ancient MS turnoff, a requisite feature for completely breaking the age-metallicity degeneracy of the RGB only using broadband photometry (e.g., Cole et al. 2005; Gallart et al. 2005).”
