Abstract

We have surveyed a complete extent of Leo A - an apparently isolated gas-rich low-mass dwarf irregular galaxy in the Local Group. The $B$ , $V$ , and $I$ passband CCD images (typical seeing $\sim$ 0.8") were obtained with Subaru Telescope equipped with Suprime-Cam mosaic camera. The wide-field ( $20' \times 24'$ ) photometry catalog of 38,856 objects ( $V \sim 16-26$ mag) is presented. This survey is also intended to serve as "a finding chart" for future imaging and spectroscopic observation programs of Leo A.
