Abstract

Due to observational constraints, our detailed knowledge of stellar populations, formation, and evolution of galaxies is limited to a few dozen galaxies located in the Local Group. The Local Group of galaxies offers a unique opportunity to construct the formation histories and probe the structure and dynamics of many dwarf galaxies surrounding the Milky Way and Andromeda and of isolated dwarf galaxies. In this regard, we monitored the majority of galaxies in the Local Group, including the M33 galaxy and satellites galaxies surrounding the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxy, as well as isolated dwarf galaxies. We identified stellar populations and based on light curve analysis, the cool evolved stars pulsating in the fundamental mode were identified. In this paper, first, we will present the results we obtained for SFH and dust production rate in individual galaxies separately to answer how different types of galaxies have been formed and evolved over cosmic time. Then, we will discuss whether the mass return from dusty evolved stars can provide enough gas reservoirs to sustain the star formation or even rejuvenate the dwarf galaxy, as some seem to harbor relatively young stars.
