An old stellar population or diffuse nebular continuum emission discovered in Green Pea galaxies

We use new Hubble Space Telescope (HST) images of nine Green Pea galaxies (GPGs) to study their resolved structure and color. The choice of filters, F555W and F850LP, together with the redshift of the galaxies (z ~ 0.25), minimizes the contribution of the nebular [O iii] and Hα emission lines to the...
