Washington photometry of low surface brightness dwarf galaxies in the fornax cluster: constraints on their stellar populations

Integrated colors of a sample of low surface brightness (LSB) dwarf galaxies in the Fornax cluster, obtained from CCD images in the Washington system, are analyzed. This system proves useful to, under certain conditions, disentangle the effects of age and metallicity in a color-color diagram. A comp...
