Old main-sequence turnoff photometry in the SMC: Star Formation History and Chemical Enrichment Law
We present deep ground-based {it B} and {it R} observations of 12 fields in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). The resulting color-magnitude diagrams (CMDs) reach the oldest main-sequence (MS) turnoff at M$_{R}$$ hicksim$3.5 and reveal the stellar population differences between the part of the galaxy facing the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) and an
