Descripción
We present here a part of the project aimed to study the SFH in different parts of the SMC. We observed 12 fields during a four year campaign (2001-2004) using the 100-inch Irénée du Pont telescope at Las Campanas Observatory, Chile, with positions ranging from ˜1° to ˜4° from the SMC center and located at different azimuths. In this poster we present the first results of the SFH of the closest SMC field, smc0057, located in the Southern direction (at ˜1 Kpc from the SMC center). This field is particularly interesting because is located in a place in which the HI column density is very low (almost inexistent) but still presents recent enhancement of star formation.

    A Systematic Search for and Characterization of White Dwarf Binaries Across the H-R Diagram
    White dwarfs (WDs) are the endpoint of evolution for 97% of stars. Most of these stars are in multiple systems, and a significant fraction of those are compact enough to exchange mass, altering the structures and subsequent evolution of both stars. The physical mechanisms that facilitate these mass exchanges include common envelope evolution, Roche

    ROSALIA: ROman Sky Analyst for Low surface brightness Imaging & Astronomy
    Diffuse emission in the outskirts of galaxies, such as stellar tidal streams, galaxy stellar halos and intracluster light, provides important constraints on the structure and evolution of the Universe. However, such low surface brightness diffuse emission can be up to thousands of times dimmer (>29 AB mag/[square arcseconds]) than the sky

    Deep HST Imaging Favors the Bulgeless Edge-on Galaxy Explanation for the Hypothetical Stellar Wake Created by a Runaway Supermassive Black Hole
    A long linear structure recently discovered could be the stellar wake produced by the passage of a runaway supermassive black hole (SMBH) or, alternatively, a bulgeless edge-on galaxy. We report on new very deep Hubble Space Telescope imaging that seems to be in tension with the SMBH runaway scenario but is consistent with the bulgeless edge-on
