The star formation and chemical evolution history of the Fornax dwarf spheroidal galaxy

The star formation and chemical evolution history of the Fornax dwarf spheroidal galaxy

We present deep photometry in the B,V and I filters from CTIO/MOSAIC for about 270.000 stars in the Fornax dwarf Spheroidal galaxy, out to a radius of r_ell\sim0.8 degrees. By combining the accurately calibrated photometry with the spectroscopic metallicity distributions of individual Red Giant Branch stars we obtain the detailed …
