Scientific paper

The Magellanic Clouds {MC} are the nearest major galaxies and therefore afford unique opportunities for studies of stellar populations and star formation histories through observations of color-magnitude diagrams {CMDs; e.g. Bertelli et al. 1992, ApJ, 388, 400}. In this program we extend HST WFPC2 studies of low mass stars in the LMC through observations of a field in the SMC which is near the bar. The resulting CMDs will be modelled using isochrones such as those by Bergbusch & Vandenberg {1992, ApJS, 81, 163} to recover the lower stellar IMF and to search for the signatures of episodic star formation in these galaxies.
