Baade's red sheet resolved into stars with HST in the Blue Compact Dwarf Galaxy VII Zw 403

preprint1997arXivOpen access

Abstract

HST WFPC2 observations of the nearby Blue Compact Dwarf Galaxy VII~Zw~403 (= UGC 6456) resolve single stars down to MI_I≈\approx-2.5, deep enough to identify red giants. This population has a more uniform spatial distribution than the young main-sequence stars and supergiants, forming the structure known as "Baade's red sheet". We conclude that VII~Zw~403 is not a primeval galaxy.
