Abstract
AbstractWe present a new method to derive 2D star formation histories in dwarf irregular galaxies. Based on multicolor stellar photometry data we have found that in the Leo A galaxy during the last ∽400 Myr star formation was propagating according to the inside-out scenario. Star-forming regions have spread strongly asymmetrically from the center and their present day distribution correlates well with the Hi surface density maps.
