Scientific paper

WLM is one of the most isolated galaxies in the Local Group. From archival HST frames, we look for population gradients using star count ratios from distinct regions of the Color-Magnitude diagram. We find clear evidence for a central concentration of the younger stars. This scenario supports the two-component disk/halo-like structure suggested for dwarf irregular galaxies (Martinez-Delgado, Gallart & Aparicio, 1999).
