Star-forming Dwarf Galaxies: Ariadne’s Thread in the Cosmic Labyrinth Star Formation in Hii Galaxies. Properties of the ionized gas
We present two set of high signal-to-noise spectrophotometric observations of three and seven compact and luminous Hii galaxies observed with the WHT and the 3.5 m telescope at CAHA, respectively. All the observations have been made with the use of a double-arm spectrograph which provides spectra with a wide wavelength coverage, from 3200 to 10500 Åfor the WHT data and 3400 to 10400 Åfor the CA...
متن کاملLyα Driven Outflows Around Star Forming Galaxies
We present accurate Monte-Carlo calculations of Lyα radiation pressure in a range of models which represent galaxies during various epochs of our Universe. We show that the radiation force that Lyα photons exert on hydrogen gas in the neutral intergalactic medium (IGM), that surrounds minihalos that host the first stars, may exceed gravity by orders of magnitude and drive supersonic winds. Lyα ...
متن کاملInfrared Properties of Star Forming Dwarf Galaxies : II . Blue Compact Dwarf Galaxies in the Virgo Cluster
A sample of 16 blue compact dwarf galaxies (BCDs) in the Virgo Cluster has been imaged in the near-infrared (NIR) in J and K s on the 2.1m telescope at OAN-SPM in Mexico. Isophotes as faint as µ J = 24 mag arcsec −2 and µ Ks = 23 mag arcsec −2 have been reached in most of the targets. Surface brightness profiles can be fitted across the whole range of radii by the sum of two components: a hyper...
متن کاملGas metallicity diagnostics in star-forming galaxies
Generally the gas metallicity in distant galaxies can only be inferred by using a few prominent emission lines. Various theoretical models have been used to predict the relationship between emission line fluxes and metallicity, suggesting that some line ratios can be used as diagnostics of the gas metallicity in galaxies. However, accurate empirical calibrations of these emission line flux rati...
متن کاملGas-rich Local Dwarf Star-forming Galaxies and Their Connection with the Distant Universe
I discuss the properties of gas-rich forming galaxies. I particularly emphasize the latest results on Lyα emission that are relevant to the search of distant young galaxies. The interdependance of the Lyα escape with the properties of the ISM in starburst galaxies is outlined. A new model from G. Tenorio-Tagle and his collaborators explain Lyα profiles in starburst galaxies from the hydrodynami...
