Star Formation History in Solar Neighbourhood, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Rahvar, Sohrab (Supervisor)
Abstract
Star Formation History (SFH) is one of the important quantities to constrain galaxy formation and evolution scenarios and star formation models. In this thesis we aim to derive SFH for solar neighbourhood stars. We can use absolute magnitude-color diagram of a stellar system to derive the SFH. The method is to consider different functions for SFH and compare the resulting colormagnitude diagram with observational data. We used HIPPARCOS satellite data in this thesis. Hipparcos has measured astrometric parameters for about 120000 stars very accurately, which enables us to compare the color-magnitude of those stars with theoretical color-magnitudes. In this thesis, using Monte Carlo method, we...
