A high mass to light ratio implies that CVn I is dominated by the dark matter.[5] The stellar population of CVn I consists mainly of old stars formed more than 10 billion years ago. The metallicity of these old stars is also very low at {{nowrap|[Fe/H] ≈ −2.08 ± 0.02}}, which means that they contain 110 times less heavy elements than the Sun.[6] There are also about 60 RR Lyrae stars.[2] The galaxy also contains a small fraction of younger (1–2 billion years old) more metal-rich ({{nowrap|[Fe/H] ≈ −1.5}}) stars, which account for about 5% of its mass and 10% of its light. These younger stars are concentrated in the center of the galaxy.[7] There is currently no star formation in CVn I and the measurements have so far failed to detect neutral hydrogen in it—the upper limit is 30,000 solar masses.[8] References1. ^1 2 3 {{cite simbad|title=NAME CVn I dSph|accessdate=2011-11-21}} 2. ^1 {{Cite journal | last1 = Kuehn | first1 = C. | last2 = Kinemuchi | first2 = K. | last3 = Ripepi | first3 = V. | last4 = Clementini | first4 = G. | last5 = Dall'Ora | first5 = M. | last6 = Di Fabrizio | first6 = L. | last7 = Rodgers | first7 = C.
