The problem of eXtremely-Metal Deficient (XMD) galaxy ages. ... Problem of ages of XMD galaxies is addressed through the comparison of colours of stars in their outer regions (where one can neglect the effect of recent star-formation activity), with model tracks of evolving stellar populations from, e.g., the popular package PEGASE.2 (Fioc Rocca-Volmerange 1999). For some of XMD galaxies, the contribution of nebular emission in the light of outer regions is negligible or invisible. ...
