Abstract:
Integrated colors of a sample of low surface brightness (LSB) dwarf galaxies in the Fornax cluster, obtained from CCD images in the Washington system, are analyzed. This system proves useful to, under certain conditions, disentangle the effects of age and metallicity in a color-color diagram. A comparison with synthetic colors of simple stellar systems of known age and metallicity shows that nearly half the dwarfs have colors that can only be reproduced by a mixture of stars including a moderately young (≃108 yr) population. In particular, one of the galaxies shows evidence of recent or current star formation. © 1996. The American Astronomical Society. All rights reserved.
