## Abstract We study the properties of the dwarf galaxy population in the nearby interacting M81 group of galaxies. In particular, we are deriving the metallicity distribution functions, the ages and the star formation histories of these dwarf galaxies based on data from the Hubble Space Telescope'

## Abstract We analyse the kinematic and chemical evolution of 203 distant spheroidal (elliptical and S0) galaxies at 0.2 < __z__ < 0.8 which are located in different environments (rich clusters, lowβmass clusters and in the field). VLT/FORS and CAHA/MOSCA spectra with intermediateβresolution have
## Abstract We present models of the formation and evolution of isolated dwarf galaxies. The models follow the evolution of an initially homogeneous gas cloud collapsing in a preβexisting darkβmatter halo. These simplified initial conditions are supported by the merger trees of isolated dwarf galax
