Abstract:
We present the results on the age and metallicity estimates of nine Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) clusters (AM3, HW31, 40, 41, 42, 59, 63, L91 and NGC339) obtained from CCD WashingtonCT1T2 photometry. We confirm AM3 and NGC339 as intermediate-age and metal-poor clusters, and report for the first time that the remaining seven clusters are also intermediate-age or old clusters (t~ 4.3-9.3Gyr), which represents an increase of ≳60 per cent of the total known intermediate-age/old cluster population in the SMC. The studied clusters have metal contents ranging from intermediate metal-poor ([Fe/H] ≈-0.7dex) down to metal-poor ([Fe/H] ≈-1.3dex) values. © 2011 The Author Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society © 2011 RAS.
