Description
My PhD project has been focused on the study of the pulsating variable stars
in two ultra-faint dwarf spheroidal satellites of the Milky Way, namely, Leo IV and
Hercules; and in two fields of the Large Magellanic Cloud (namely, the Gaia South
Ecliptic Pole calibration field, and the 30 Doradus region) that were repeatedly
observed in the KS band by the VISTA Magellanic Cloud (VMC, PI M.R. Cioni)
survey of the Magellanic System.
