The Star Formation History in Nearby Dwarf Galaxies: the Fossil Record in the Color-Magnitude Diagram
The SFH of galaxies can be studied with detail in nearby systems which are resolvable into individual stars. In such case, the color-magnitude (CM) diagram can...
The Star Formation History of Dwarf Galaxies over Cosmological Timescales
Dwarf galaxies may play a key role in the formation and evolution of bigger systems. This makes it a topic of major interest to know how they form and evolve...
We present results on the star formation history of the Local Group dSph galaxy Leo I, obtained through the analysis of its deep HST color-magnitude diagram...
Leo I and Leo II are the two most remote dSph galaxies satellites of the Milky Way, situated at about 250 Kpc of it. They are objects of similar size and low...
The Star Formation History of Nearby Dwarf Galaxies: problems, methods and results
The synthetic color-magnitude diagram (CMD) methodology to study the star formation history (SFH) of nearby galaxies is briefly reviewed. Firstly the most...
