Descripción
We present the full Star Formation History as a function of radius of the Fornax dSph galaxy. We also present the preliminary results of the spatial distribution of the stellar populations. We found significant differences in the populations as a function of the galactocentric radius, which may be the result from interactions between Fornax and other systems. The implications of the obtained results on the dwarf spheroidal galaxies evolution are also discussed. This study is based on FORS1@VLT photometry as deep as I ˜24.5 and the IAC-star, IAC-pop and MinnIAC codes.
