Research Activities

The giant elliptical NGC5128 galaxy is the nearest easily observable at a distance of 3.8 Mpc.To date, this galaxy has been widely studied due to its proximity and prominent features. However, considering the resolved stellar populations of the galaxy, a more detailed investigation is appreciated as it is demanded to be a particular target for upcoming large telescopes. In this paper, we construct the star formation history (SFH) of two small fields in the halo of NGC5128 galaxy. Northeastern field is located at a distance of 18:8 Kpc and southern field is in 9:9 Kpc from the center. Our method is based on identifying long period variable (LPV) stars that can act as powerful tracers of star formation due to their luminosity and variability.
