| My research topic is ?probing the star formation history in galaxies, using long period variables? which is a new method for finding the Star Formation History (SFH). We have used two different data sources; an optical survey and a near infrared catalogue in order to work on dusty AGB stars. Our method of finding Star Formation History (SFH) is based on studying Long Period Variables (LPVs) which are mostly AGB (Asymptotic Giant Branch) stars at their very late stage of evolution. They have dominant instability in their atmosphere at their final stage of evolution which cause them start radial pulsating at very long periods; as a result, they have large mass loss and are principal production sites of dust in the universe. | ||
