AST-9619576 Reconstructing the Magellanic Clouds Star Formation History from a Digital UBVI Photometric Survey. Dr. Zaritsky will investigate the global and spatially resolved star formation history of the Magellanic Clouds in order to better understand the evolution of galaxies in general and the detailed evolution of the Clouds in particular. This work will produce the first large-scale UBVI digital survey of the Magellanic Clouds to bridge studies of galaxy evolution that are based on photometry of individual stars and those that utilize integrated properties of galaxies. The results of this research are expected to provide a fundamental advance in the study of galaxy evolution and provide the empirical constraints necessary to test evolutionary models. =====================================

AST-9619576 根据数字UBVI光度测量重建麦哲伦云星星形成历史。 Zaritsky博士将研究麦哲伦星云的全球和空间分辨的星星形成历史，以便更好地了解星系的一般演化，特别是星云的详细演化。 这项工作将产生第一个大规模的麦哲伦云UBVI数字调查，以连接星系演化研究，这些研究是基于单个恒星的测光和那些利用星系综合特性的研究。 这项研究的结果有望为星系演化研究提供根本性的进展，并为测试演化模型提供必要的经验约束。 =====================================
