The Star Formation History of the Pegasus Dwarf Irregular Galaxy
The star formation history (SFH) of the Pegasus dIr, a likely Local Group member at 0.95 Mpc from the Milky Way, is investigated. We characterize the SFH by two basic functions: the star formation rate, psi (t), and the chemical enrichment law, Z(t). It has been derived by comparing the color-magnitude diagram of the resolved stars in Pegasus, with
