Descripción
We present results on the star formation history of the Local Group dSph galaxy Leo I, obtained through the analysis of its deep HST color-magnitude diagram (CMD) using model CMDs computed from stellar evolutionary models. Our results show unambiguously that Leo I experienced a major increase of its star formation rate from about 6 Gyr ago to 2 Gyr ago. Some prior star formation possibly ocurred in another discrete episode of enhanced activity lasting 2-3 Gyr. Finally, a low level of star formation continued until 500-200 Myr ago.

    A Disc Wind Where You Least Expect It: The Outflow in the Short-period X-ray Binary UW CrB
    Studying outflows of low mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) is important for understanding the physics of accretion, the evolution of compact binaries, and dynamics of the local interstellar medium. One significant source of these outflows is the accretion disc wind, which can blow away vast amounts of material from the disc before it can be accreted on
