The Subject

The star formation history and kinematics of intermediate-age and old populations in the Small Magellanic Cloud are the subject of this brief review. New results confirm the occurrence of a period of enhanced SF about 8–10 Gyr ago in the SMC. Younger populations are confirmed to be more centrally concentrated than older ones. The SMC, at least in the areas studied (which do not include the Bar) seems to have had a different history of star formation from the LMC. Although the kinematics of the SMC have been extensively studied, it is still unclear if there are distinct Bar, disk and halo components, or if all populations share the same kinematics.

We are developing an algorithm to determine the star formation history (SFH) of a mixed stellar population. We will apply the algorithm to hundreds of regions in our Magellanic Clouds Photometric Survey data and reconstruct the spatially resolved star formation history of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) and the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). In this paper, we demonstrate the algorithm on a typical region in the LMC, focussing on the obstacles and challenges facing us in attempting to reliably extract the SFH from photometric data.
