Abstract
We summarize results from the photometric survey of a number of ultra-faint dwarf satellites of the Milky Way. We are studying these systems in a systematic way to characterize their stellar populations and structural parameters, as well as their variable star content, with the aim of deriving hints on the formation process of the Galactic halo.
