Structure, kinematics and chemical evolution of the SMC
Star clusters can help to understand the dynamic and chemical history of their host galaxy, and viceversa. Our group has been systematically analyzing the SMC star clusters in order to understand how the interaction of this galaxy with (mainly) de LMC has driven its structure, kinematics, star formation and chemical enrichment processes. For this we have used the observational information provided by the photometric survey VISCACHA (http://www.astro.iag.usp.br/~viscacha/index.html) and its GMOS/GEMINI spectroscopic follow-up. In this work we will present a summary of the main results obtained by these international collaborations between Brazil, Chile, Argentina and Mexico.
