AbstractWe present the first results of a comprehensive HST study of the star-formation history of Fornax dSph, based on WFPC2 imaging of 7 Fornax fields. Our observations reach the oldest main-sequence turnoffs, allowing us to address fundamental questions of dwarf galaxy evolution, such as the spatial variations in the stellar content, and whether the old stellar population is made up of stars formed in a very early burst or the result of a more continuous star formation.

Using observations from the Hubble Space Telescope archive, color-magnitude diagrams have been constructed for globular Cluster 4 in the Fornax dSph galaxy and its surrounding field. These diagrams extend below the main-sequence turnoffs and have yielded measurements of the ages of the populations. In particular, from our analysis Cluster 4 shows [Fe/H] ≃ 2.0, a value significantly lower than that derived for the Fornax field ([Fe/H] ≃ −1.40). Putting our results in the frame of the findings of Buonanno et al. (1998) for the Fornax clusters 1, 2, 3 and 5, a global analysis of the properties of Fornax stellar populations has been performed.

The complicated star formation history of the most massive globular cluster in our Galaxy — ω Centauri — is seen as a presence of an asymmetric spatial distribution of two stellar populations having different ages and metallicities. The cluster hosts the largest known sample of Population II δ Sct variables, or SX Phœnicis stars, which are valuable Galactic and extragalactic distance estimators. We discuss the applicability of these variables for estimating distances to the cluster, and compare different techniques for the critical identifications of oscillation modes.
