Description:
    The stellar content  of the  Im galaxy  NGC 2366  is discussed  on the
    basis of CCD  BVR photometry. The  three brightest blue  and red stars
    have been  used to estimate its distance,  obtaining a value of 2.9pc.
    The  spatial distribution of the young stellar population is discussed
    in  the light of the integrated  color indices and the color-magnitude
    diagrams  of  different  zones  of  the  galaxy.  A  generalized  star
    formation burst seems  to  have  taken  place  about  50Myr  ago.  The
    youngest stars are preferentially formed in the South-West part of the
    bar,  where the giant H II complex  NGC 2363 is located, being younger
    and bluer. The bar seems to play a role favoring star formation in one
    of its  extremes.  Self-propagation  however,  does  not  seem  to  be
    triggering star formation at large scale. A small region, populated by
    very young stars has also been found at the East of the galaxy.
