Formation History of Stars and Star Clusters in Nearby Galaxies
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 December 2006
Abstract
We present first results from an HST/ACS imaging survey of stars and star clusters in five nearby spiral galaxies. This contribution concentrates on NGC 1313, a highly distorted late-type barred spiral. We compare the field star and cluster formation histories in our three ACS pointings for this galaxy. In one pointing, both the cluster and field star age distributions show clear evidence for a ramp-up in the star formation rate about 108 years ago.
