Summary of the star formation history of NGC 7252 obtained with STECKMAP, normalised over each annulus. Panel a: SFR as a function of effective radius, measured across cosmic time. The white solid and dotted lines outline the mean and standard deviation of the initial star formation episode. The current star formation episode is clearly visible in the lower left-hand corner. Similarly, panel b shows the stellar mass gained at a given time. As expected, most of the mass was built up slowly, beginning at early times with a second peak around 1 Gyr.
