The Star Formation History of the Large Magellanic Cloud
We present the first-ever global, spatially-resolved reconstruction of the star formation history (SFH) of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), based on the application of our StarFISH analysis software to the multiband photometry of twenty million of its stars from the Magellanic Clouds Photometric Survey. The general outlines of our results are consistent with previously published results: follo...
متن کاملThe Star Formation History of the Small Magellanic Cloud
We present the spatially-resolved star formation and chemical enrichment history of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) across the entire central 4 × 4.5 area of the main body, based on UBV I photometry from our Magellanic Clouds Photometric Survey. We find that 1) approximately 50% of the stars that ever formed in the SMC formed prior to 8.4 Gyr ago (z > 1.2 for WMAP cosmology), 2) the SMC formed...
متن کاملOn the history of star formation in the bar of the Large Magellanic Cloud
With the HST PC and uvby photometry, we investigate evolutionary signatures in a field in the centre of the LMC Bar. Field stars close to the turn off point in the HR diagram are used for a study of ages and evolution of the stellar populations dominating the Bar as well as for determination of the abundance of heavy elements. Including fainter stars, we derive the corresponding luminosity func...
متن کاملCluster formation versus star formation around six regions in the Large Magellanic Cloud
We studied the stellar population and star clusters around six regions in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) in order to understand the correlation between star formation and cluster formation episodes. We used the stellar data base of the OGLE II LMC survey and the star cluster catalogues. The analysis of the colourmagnitude diagrams (CMDs) were used to estimate the ages of the stellar populatio...
متن کاملCluster formation versus star formation rates around six regions in the Large Magellanic Cloud
The stellar population and star clusters around six regions in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) are studied to understand the correlation between star formation and cluster formation rates. We used the stellar data base of the OGLE II LMC survey and the star cluster catalogues. The observed distributions of stellar density in the colour−magnitude diagrams (CMDs) were compared with synthetic one...
