Scientific paper

The synthetic color-magnitude diagram (CMD) methodology to study the star formation history (SFH) of nearby galaxies is briefly reviewed. Firstly the most significant features of the CMD for this task are discussed. Then, the procedure of computing synthetic CMDs is explained and the main results obtained by our group in the last few years summarized. Finally, for the purpose of showing the potentiality of the synthetic CMD methodology, sketches of the SFHs of Carina and Fornax are used to build-up synthetic CMDs qualitatively reproducing the observed CMDs of these two galaxies.
