Synthetic stellar population models show TRGB luminosity varies by at most 0.028 mag from typical changes in alpha enhancement, age, and helium at fixed metallicity, confirming its robustness as a distance indicator.
Forecasts indicate CSST can detect wide binaries in Segue 1 down to fb ~ 0.01 with 2300 stars but needs 6000 stars and fb ~ 0.1 to distinguish cusped from cored dark matter profiles.
The PFS Galactic Archaeology survey will observe thousands of stars in Local Group systems to measure density profiles in dwarfs and compare assembly histories of M31 and the Milky Way.
