Scientific paper

HST WFPC2 observations of the nearby Blue Compact Dwarf Galaxy VII~Zw~403 (=
UGC 6456) resolve single stars down to M$_I$$\approx$-2.5, deep enough to
identify red giants. This population has a more uniform spatial distribution
than the young main-sequence stars and supergiants, forming the structure known
as "Baade's red sheet". We conclude that VII~Zw~403 is not a primeval galaxy.
