AbstractWe present the first results of a comprehensive HST study of the star-formation history of Fornax dSph, based on WFPC2 imaging of 7 Fornax fields. Our observations reach the oldest main-sequence turnoffs, allowing us to address fundamental questions of dwarf galaxy evolution, such as the spatial variations in the stellar content, and whether the old stellar population is made up of stars formed in a very early burst or the result of a more continuous star formation.

There are no examples of Blue Compact Dwarf (BCD) galaxies known within the Local Group (LG). Multicolor HST/WFPC2 observations of the nearby BCD VII Zw 403 (= UGC 6456) now resolve single stars with the quality (in terms of limiting magnitude and completeness) previously achieved for LG dwarfs from the ground. We use the MI, V - I color-magnitude diagrams (CMDs) of several LG dwarfs as templates to assess the stellar content and star-formation history (SFH) of the BCD VII Zw 403. This is the first BCD for which a clear spatial segregation of the resolved stellar content into a “core-halo” structure is detected: active star formation is observed in the central region of VII Zw 403, while in “Baade's red sheet”, this young population is strikingly absent. If BCD halos are home to dominant ancient stellar populations, then the fossil record conflicts with delayed-format ion scenarios for dwarfs. We present a sketch of the SFH in the core and halo of VII Zw 403.
