Abstract
We reanalyze the age distribution (dN/dt) of star clusters in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) using age determinations
based on theMagellanic Cloud Photometric Survey.
Our results are in sharp contrast to the interpretation of Chandar et al.,
who interpret the declining dN/dt distribution as rapid cluster dissolution. This is due to their erroneous assumption
that the sample is limited by cluster mass, rather than luminosity.
