AbstractAs part of our near-infrared photometric survey of nearby dwarf galaxies, we present recent results for Leo I and Leo II dwarf spheroidal galaxies. We selected O- and C-rich AGB stellar populations using two-color diagrams and compared their luminosity functions and star counts with the predictions of the most recent AGB theoretical models.

We investigate the stellar populations of a sample of Tidal Dwarf Galaxies, combining observations and evolutionary synthesis models to try and reveal their formation mechanism. on optical images we select a first sample of TDGs for which optical spectroscopy is used to measure metallicities and velocity structure. Finally, we estimate ages, burst strengths, and stellar masses from near-infrared imaging in comparison with a dedicated grid of evolutionary synthesis models, to assess if Tidal Dwarfs are formed out of collapsing gas clouds or by an accumulation of old stars from the parent galaxy or by a combination of both.

Globular cluster (GC) systems are powerful probes to study the evolutionary histories of galaxies, being tracers of major star fomation episodes (Brodie & Strader 2006). They are found around all major galaxies and are easy to see far beyond the local group. Age dating GCs therefore helps pinpoint epochs of major star forming events. Spectroscopic age dating though (Strader et al. 2005) is extremely time consuming and can only access the few brightest clusters. An alternative is to combine near-infrared (NIR) and optical photometry, and therefore have a better chance in lifting the age metallicity degeneracy than with optical colours alone. This approach relies in testing GC colours against simple stellar population (SSP) models. The first studies following this technique showed the possible existence of a high percentage of intermediate age (2-3 Gyrs) GCs in early-type galaxies known to contain old stellar populations from integrated light studies. Two strong cases can be listed: NGC 4365 (Puzia et al. 2002, Larsen et al. 2005) and NGC 5846 (Hempel et al. 2003). In the present study we combine NIR deep photometry obtained with the WHT/LIRIS instrument and archival HST/ACS optical images to determine g(F475W), z(F840LP) and K(2.2m) magnitudes and colours of GCs in 14 early-type galaxies.
