The Dwarf Galaxy NGC 1705 -- A Highly Composite Stellar Population

Abstract
We present visible and near-infrared images of the amorphous dwarf galaxy NGC 1705 in the B, V, R, J, H, and K bands. Optical and near infrared colors in the galaxy are consistent with a composite population with colors similar to those of the bluest Sc nuclei. The contribution of young stars to the disk population of the galaxy decreases outwards from the center. In the near infrared images we detect three unresolved point sources, two of which have colors and luminosities comparable to intermediate age LMC clusters.
