Description
We present extensive tables of bolometric corrections and interstellar extinction coefficients for the WFPC2 and ACS (both WFC and HRC) photometric systems. They are derived from synthetic photometry applied to a database of spectral energy distributions covering a large range of effective temperatures, surface gravity, and metal content. Carbon stars are also considered. The zero points take into consideration the new high-accuracy Vega fluxes from Bohlin. These tables are employed to transform Padova isochrones into WFPC2 and ACS photometric systems using interstellar extinction coefficients on a star-to-star basis. All data are available either in tabular form or via an interactive web interface in the case of the isochrones. Preliminary tables for the WFC3 camera are also included in the database.

The overall aim of the project is to study the morphology, stellar populations, kinematics and dynamics (including formation and evolution) of the Milky Way and its satellite galaxies and other Local Group galaxies. The project can be divided into two main lines: I. Structure of the Milky Way and nearby galaxies. The detailed study of the

    The Dawes review 14: A decade of ultra-diffuse galaxies
    It has been 10 yr since the initial discovery of 'Ultra-Diffuse Galaxies' (UDGs) in the Coma cluster and the revelation that large, low surface brightness galaxies may constitute a greater fraction of galaxies than first thought. This left an open question: Are UDGs something special, or just an extension of the previously known dwarf galaxy
