Description
We present Hubble Space Telescope WFPC2 and STIS imaging of the low-metallicity galaxy NGC 6822, performed as part of a study of the young stellar populations in the galaxies of the Local Group. Eleven WFPC2 pointings, with some overlap, cover two regions extending over 19 and 13arcmin^2^, respectively, off the galaxy center. The filters used are F170W, F255W, F336W, F439W, and F555W. One 25x25 field observed with the STIS FUV- and NUV-MAMA includes Hodge's OB 8 association and the HII region Hubble V, contained in field 1 of Bianchi et al. (2001, Cat. <J/AJ/121/2020>); this previous study provides additional WFPC2 four-band photometry. We derive the physical parameters of the stars in the fields and the extinction by comparing the photometry to grids of model magnitudes.
