Description
We present preliminary results of a photometric investigation on IC10
using F555W and F814W data collected with WFPC2@HST covering two
different regions. We provide a new estimate of both distance and
reddening by adopting the Tip of the Red Giant Branch (TRGB). We find
that the RGB stars in the two regions are located at the same distance,
but present different reddening values. In particular, we find DM_0 =
24.75 ± 0.1 and E(B-V) = 0.44 ± 0.14 for the outer region,
and E(B-V) = 0.60 ± 0.14 for the central fields. Moreover we show
that stellar isochrones at fixed metal content, distance and reddening
account for both Main Sequence (MS) and evolved stellar components.
