Abstract:
  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 2.9 Mpc.  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 50 Myr 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.


Description:
  The final photometric list is given in table 3.  The table contains 1959
  stars with photometry in V and, at least, one more band.  Only stars with
  ALLSTAR's sigma values smaller than 0.2 have been considered.  Figure 2
  of the printed paper shows a finding chart of the stars given in table 3.
