The star-formation history of low-mass disk galaxies: a case study of NGC\,300

Xiaoyu Kang, Fenghui Zhang, Ruixiang Chang +2

Since NGC300 is a bulge-less, isolated low-mass galaxy and has not experienced radial migration during its evolution history, it can be treated as an ideal laboratory to test simpl…
