Título: BVI optical photometry of 7 stellar clusters in the SMC

Resumo: In the present proposal we intend to observe 7 relatively bright star clusters in the Small Magellanic Cloud with 3 optical filters. Colour-magnitude and colour-colour diagrams will be built for each object and modeled according to detailed techniques already developed and previously applied by our group, resulting in fundamental physical (age, metallicity, Mass Function slope, etc) and structural parameters. There is very little information about these clusters available so far, but the most of them are suspect to be intermediate (3-8 Gyr) or even old age clusters with distinct structural characteristics.
