Scientific paper

The ANGST data set (see associated talk by Dalcanton) from the HST/ACS is providing the deepest color-magnitude diagrams (CMDs) yet measured for several nearby galaxies. These CMDs are already revealing the wide variety of stellar populations present in this volume-limited sample of galaxies. Detailed star formation history measurements on these data are underway, and I will discuss the status of these measurements including some preliminary age and metallicity distributions describing the stellar populations contained in our ACS fields. These distributions provide detailed information about the evolution of galaxies and will be essential for attempts to reconstruct the evolution of our local 100 Mpc^3.
