Descripción
To determine the star formation histories of dwarf galaxies we use fossil methods. Compared to the color-magnitude diagrams analyzes, which are well tested and widely accepted, the studies of integrated spectra are still young. In order to assess their capabilities and limitations, we compare the results of three publicly available star formation recovery programs (StarLight, STECKMAP and ULySS).
