Descripción
We present the star formation histories (SFHs) as a function of
galactocentric radius of four isolated dwarf galaxies, Cetus, Tucana,
LGS-3, and Phoenix. Our results suggest that beyond some distance from
the center, there are no significative differences in fundamental
properties of these galaxies. In the innermost regions, dwarf galaxies
appear to have formed stars during time intervals which duration varies
from galaxy to galaxy. This extended star formation produces the
dichotomy between dwarf spheroidal (dSph) and dwarf Transition (dTr)
galaxy types. This behavior is compatible with a scenario in which
global reionization stops the star formation in the outer galaxy regions
and self-shielding allows extended star formation in the inner regions.
