Abstract
We have carried out Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 (WFPC2) F160BW, F555W, an d F656N imaging of four young populous clusters: NGC 330, in the Small Mage llanic Cloud, and NGC 1818, 2004, and 2100, in the Large Magellanic Cloud. We report photometric results for these four clusters, including identifica tion using photometric colors of the cluster Be star population. We present theoretical WFPC2 and broadband colors and bolometric corrections for LMC and SMC metallicities. The use of the far-UV F160BW filter enables accurate determination of the effective temperatures for stars in the vicinity of t he main-sequence turnoff and on the unevolved main sequence.
