摘要：

We present B, V and I photometry with HST/ACS of the resolved stellar populations in the Magellanic starburst galaxy NGC 4449. Our photometry provides approximate to 300,000 objects in the (B, V) color-magnitude diagrams (CMDs) and approximate to 400,000 objects in the (V, I) CMDs. The features observed in tire CMDs imply a variety of stellar ages tip to at least 1 Gyr, and possibly as old as a Hubble time. Our data clearly indicate the presence of an age gradient, with voting and intermediate-age stars concentrated toward the galactic center, and old stars present everywhere. We derive the distance of NGC 4449 with air accuracy of 5% from the tip of the red giant branch: D = 3.82 +/- 0.18 Mpc.
