[19.04] The Embedded Super Star Cluster of SBS0335-052

S. Plante (Universite Laval), M. Sauvage (CEA/DSM/DAPNIA/Service d'Astrophys.)

SBS0335-052 is the second most metal-poor galaxy known, after IZw18. We observed it with OSCIR on Gemini North last December in the N and Q3 wide-band. By a multi-resolution analysis of the images, we were able to derive the spectral energy distribution (SED) of the MIR hot spot. We were also able to confirm the fact that most of the MIR flux is coming from a very compact region, thus confirming the hypothesis that there is an embedded super-star cluster in SBS0335-052.
