Abstract.
We estimate the duration of star formation in young clusters of the
Small and Large Magellanic Clouds (SMC and LMC). It is estimated as
the difference between Post- main sequence (Post-MS) age and Pre-
main sequence (PMS) age. The present study aims to determine the PMS
ages of clusters by combining the optical and near-IR data.
Prelimnary results of this study on 2 clusters in the SMC and
clusters in the LMC are presented here.
