Project
Objectives
-
We are carrying out a multi-wavelength study of a sample
of BCD galaxies, focussing in those aspects related to thir star-formation
and evolution. We interested in:
-
tracing the star-formation history
-
characterisation of stellar populations
-
measure the dynamic mass of these galaxies, which allow to
determine the total stellar mass and dark matter mass.
-
Look for signatures indicatives of possible merger or interaction
phenomena that could be starting the star-formation process.
-
Traditional spectroscopic techniques have proven to be limited
and inefficient to study in detail this kind of obejcts. In fact, these
studies are subject to some assumptions and error sources:
-
We need to assume a homogeneous emission within each knot
of star-formation
-
We have also to assume that the extinction derived in that
portion of the galaxy, sliced by the slit, is the same for the whole galaxy.
