Based on multicolor stellar photometry data we have found that in the Leo A galaxy during the last $\\sim$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.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-10-18T13:40:55.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "derive star formation histories", "dwarf galaxies", "derive 2d star formation histories", "hi surface density maps", "multicolor stellar photometry data" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 4, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
