Scientific paper

Theoretical Period-Age and Period-Age-Color relations for different chemical compositions have been recently derived using an updated homogeneous set of evolutionary and pulsational models. We apply these relations to Cepheids in the Magellanic Clouds to constrain the recent star formation history of these dwarf galaxies. Finally, we also compare the radial distribution of classical Cepheids with young clusters and star forming regions.
