The Star Formation History of M33's Outer Regions
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 December 2006
Abstract
The stellar populations of a galaxy are a fossil record of its formation and evolution and the various physical processes involved. Therefore, studying the resolved stellar populations of nearby galaxies can provide important constraints on their structure, formation, and evolution. To that end, we have obtained VI photometry with the Advanced Camera for Surveys on the Hubble Space Telescope for three fields at deprojected radii Rdp ∼ 9 − 13 kpc (∼ 4 − 6 visual scale lengths) along M33's southeast minor axis. We present results for the star formation history (SFH) of these fields based on the technique of synthetic CMD fitting.
