Description
We present a new method to solve the star formation history (SFH) of a
complex stellar population system from the analysis of the
color-magnitude diagram (CMD). The SFH is obtained in four steps: i)
computing a synthetic CMD, ii) simulating observational effects, iii)
parametrization and sampling of the synthetic and observed CMDs, and iv)
solving and averaging the solutions. The consistency and stability of
the method have been tested using a mock stellar population. The method
has been used to solve the SFH of a set of six isolated Local Group
dwarf galaxies observed with HST. The main goal is to probe the effects
of cosmological processes, such as the reionization in the early star
formation or the ability of SNe feedback to remove gas in small halos,
in dwarf galaxies free from environmental effects due to the strong
interaction with the host galaxy.
