Reconstructing the Star Formation Histories of Galaxies
Uta Fritze, Thomas Lilly
We present a methodological study to find out how far back and to what precision star formation histories of galaxies can be reconstructed from CMDs, from integrated spectra and Li…

Deriving star formation histories from integrated light: Colors and indices
Thomas Lilly, Uta Fritze-v. Alvensleben
We present results of a detailed study aiming at understanding to what precision star formation histories (SFHs) can be determined for distant galaxies observable in integrated lig…

The SFH of the LMC: The CMD approach vs. integrated colors and spectra
Thomas Lilly, Uta Fritze-v. Alvensleben
We present results of a study aiming at shedding light on the specific advantages and limitations of methods to derive star formation histories (SFH) in galaxies using resolved ste…
