The LMC Centre Unfolding
We study star formation history and chemical evolution in the LMC Bar centre. With the HST PC and WFC plus uvby photometry, we find 30% of the stars younger than 200 My and evidence for reduced star formation 3 to 0.2 Gy ago. The overall [Fe/H] is −0.5. Many stars older than 4 Gy contradict a very y...

| Zusammenfassung: | We study star formation history and chemical evolution in the LMC Bar centre. With the HST PC and WFC plus uvby photometry, we find 30% of the stars younger than 200 My and evidence for reduced star formation 3 to 0.2 Gy ago. The overall [Fe/H] is −0.5. Many stars older than 4 Gy contradict a very young Bar. |
