Figure 3

Color-magnitude diagram of galaxies with small angular sizes and stellar sources in the Hubble Ultra Deep Field [67]. Galaxies outnumber stellar objects by a factor of 75 in this figure, suggesting that unresolved galaxies will be the primary source of contamination in searches for ultra-faint dwarfs in deep survey data. Objects designated “stellar” in this image are those with in the HUDF catalog.
