We have obtained high resolution UV images with the HST+WFPC2 of the centralregion of the dwarf elliptical galaxy NGC 205. Our images reveal that many ofthe hot UV stars previously detected and studied from the ground are actuallymultiple systems, open clusters and star associations. We have performedphotometry of two such clusters and we find our data are consistent withstellar ages of 50 and 100 Myr, respectively. From the number of massive starsin NGC 205 we estimate that the star formation episode in this galaxy hasturned ~1,000 Msolar of gas into stars over the last 100 Myr.Comment: 10 pages, LaTeX, with 4 PostScript figures, Submitted to The Astrophysical Journal Letter
