cds-question@unistra.frmagellanic-cloudsgalaxiesphotometrysurveysWe present the first ever global, spatially resolved reconstruction of the star formation history (SFH) of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), based on the application of our StarFISH analysis software to the multiband photometry of 20 million of its stars from the Magellanic Clouds Photometric Survey (MCPS). The general outlines of our results are consistent with previously published results: following an initial burst of star formation, there was a quiescent epoch from approximately 12 to 5Gyr ago. Star formation then resumed and has proceeded until the current time at an average rate of roughly 0.2M_{sun}_/yr, with temporal variations at the factor of 2 level.2009AJ....138.1243Hhttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/AJ/138/1243CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic serviceIsServedByConesearch servicerelated-toII/232 : UBV photometry of selected regions in the MCs (Braun 2001)J/A+A/517/A50 : Ages + luminosities of young SMC/LMC star clusters (Glatt+,J/ApJS/184/1 : Molecular clouds in the LMC by NANTEN.
