True‐color image for a ﹩50^{\prime \prime }\times 50^{\prime \prime }﹩ region centered at the counterpart for NGC 1313 X‐2. The image was composed with F435W, F555W, and F814W images from the 2003 observation. The stellar field is dominated by red stars with scattered blue stars. A few tens of bright blue stars are clustered within an irregular shape of ﹩10^{\prime \prime }\times 5^{\prime \prime }﹩ (i.e., 180 α pc) to the west of the counterpart. North is 7.4° clockwise from upward vertical.
