Age calibration and age distribution of LMC clusters.
Abstract
Using the model of Pandey, et al. (1989) ages of the clusters in the LMC have been obtained. The resulting age distribution of LMC clusters is quite different from the age distribution of galactic clusters and supports the conclusion of a burst in the cluster formation rate about 3 Gyr ago.
