PRESENTED AT AAS 227
NSF REU Internship @ Maria Mitchell Observatory, 2015 ADS | POSTER The starbursting dwarf irregular NGC 1427A presents an interesting case as it is being pulled into the nearby Fornax cluster at supersonic speeds, producing a visibly exceptional star formation rate and notably blue colors. Utilising a rich set of broadband and narrowband HST imaging, we show for the first time how the dynamical stellar populations of NGC 1427A differ as a function of position across the surface of the galaxy, ultimately furthering our understanding of cluster interactions and the evolution of irregular galaxies.
