Description:
The stellar content of the Im galaxy NGC 2366 is discussed on the
basis of CCD BVR photometry. The three brightest blue and red stars
have been used to estimate its distance, obtaining a value of 2.9pc.
The spatial distribution of the young stellar population is discussed
in the light of the integrated color indices and the color-magnitude
diagrams of different zones of the galaxy. A generalized star
formation burst seems to have taken place about 50Myr ago. The
youngest stars are preferentially formed in the South-West part of the
bar, where the giant H II complex NGC 2363 is located, being younger
and bluer. The bar seems to play a role favoring star formation in one
of its extremes. Self-propagation however, does not seem to be
triggering star formation at large scale. A small region, populated by
very young stars has also been found at the East of the galaxy.
