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 dense stellar bar and a second field in the outer disk. In the SMC we will observe a field near the bar, but in a region where the depth of the SMC is not likely to be large (Hodge, private communication). 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.
