DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Sipra Hota (Indian Institute of Astrophysics)\nThe S
 mall Magellanic Cloud (SMC) is one of the nearest\, gas-rich interacting d
 warf satellites of the Milky Way and the companion of the Large Magellanic
  Cloud (LMC). The interactions with the LMC and/or with the Milky Way play
  a significant role in the evolution of the SMC. With its widespread star 
 formation and low metallicity\, the SMC is one of the best test beds to st
 udy star formation and evolution in a tidally driven environment. The shel
 l region located in the North-East outskirt of SMC is a tidally affected r
 egion where there has been recent star formation. Our aim is to understand
  the spatial distribution\, age dating\, and kinematics of the young popul
 ation in this part of the tidally affected SMC disk.\nWe obtained far-UV (
 FUV) images of eleven fields in the North-East SMC Shell region using the 
 UltraViolet Imaging Telescope (UVIT) on AstroSat. We created science-ready
  images and performed PSF photometry. We cross-matched the detected FUV st
 ars with the Gaia EDR3 data and eliminated foreground stars to create an F
 UV catalog of a few thousand stars. We created FUV-optical color-magnitude
  diagrams and estimated the ages of the stellar population using isochrone
 s to map the morphology\, density\, and tidal features of stars younger th
 an ∼ 600 Myr. The identified episodes of star formation are used to cons
 train the details of the recent interaction of the SMC with the LMC. We al
 so estimated the dispersion in the proper motion of the young and old star
 s to explore the kinematics of the North-East part of the outer SMC disk.\
