摘要：

We present a new photometry of the Small Magellanic Cloud star cluster NGC 458 in UBVI filters. We determine the reddening E(B - V) = 0.04 +/- 0.02. By comparison with the isochrones by Bertelli et al. (1994) we derive an age of approximate to140 Myr. Three candidate blue straggler stars are proposed. The evolved "blue loop" stars of NGC 458 have masses between 4 and 5 M. and are hotter than model predictions.
