Description
We present here the latest results of the LCID project (Local Cosmology
from Isolated Dwarfs), aimed at recovering the full star formation
history (SFH) of six isolated dwarf galaxies of the Local Group (LG).
Our method of analysis is based on the IAC-pop code, which derives the
SFH of a resolved stellar system by comparing the observed and a model
color-magnitude diagram (CMD). We summarize here basic technical issues
and the main results concerning our sample of galaxies. We show that
LeoA is the only object showing a clear delay in the onset of the major
SF event, while all the other galaxies present a dominant component
older than 10 Gyrs.
