Description
During Cycle 14 a total of 113 HST orbits were secured to observe five
isolated dwarf galaxies, namely Tucana, LGS3, LeoA, IC1613, and Cetus.
The aim of the project is a full characterization of the stellar content
of these galaxies, in terms of their SFH, radial distributions, halo
populations and variable stars. Deep (V≈29) F475W, F814W data allowed
us to fully sample all the evolutionary phases from the tip of the Red
Giant Branch (RGB) to well below the old Main Sequence Turnoff (MSTO).
Here we briefly summarize the latest results of the LCID project
concerning the variable star content of our sample galaxies.
