Hubble Space Telescope observations of NGC 2004, a cluster located in the Large Magellanic Cloud, have been used to derive an improved age estimate of the stellar population by means of isochrones fitting and synthetic cluster comparison. The cluster’s structural parameters have been calculated from a model based on number-density profiles, giving radius of the core 2.85 ± 0.46 parsecs.
