Is there any data on what kind of stars and how many are in Ambartsumian's Knot dwarf Galaxy? Is there a database to refer to?
Thanks in advance

The measurements are listed on Simbad, for instance: https://simbad.u-strasbg.fr/simbad/sim-id?Ident=Ambartsumian%27s+Knot&NbIdent=1&Radius=2&Radius.unit=arcmin&submit=submit+id
