Scientific paper

Extreme Horizontal Branch (EHB) stars and their post-HB progeny are now recognized, in addition to PAGB stars, as the dominant contributors to the far ultraviolet emission of early-type galaxies. We examine the case of two galaxies of this type, NGC 5102 and NGC 205, currently reported to harbour star formation in their central regions. We show that the distinction between young stars and the expected EHB and PAGB stars is not as straightforward as thought, not only with integrated light observations but also when the stars are resolved and studied in a color-magnitude diagram (CMD).
