A MUSE/VLT spatially resolved study of the emission structure of Green Pea galaxies
A. Arroyo-Polonio, J. Iglesias-Páramo, C. Kehrig +6
Green Pea galaxies are remarkable for their intense star formation and serve as a window into the early universe. In our study, we used integral field spectroscopy to examine 24 of…
Spatially-resolved chemodynamics of the starburst dwarf galaxy CGCG 007-025: Evidence for recent accretion of metal-poor gas
M. G. del Valle-Espinosa, R. Sanchez-Janssen, R. Amorin +4
Nearby metal-poor starburst dwarf galaxies present a unique opportunity to probe the physics of high-density star formation with a detail and sensitivity unmatched by any observati…
Spatially-resolved properties of the ionized gas in the HII galaxy J084220+115000
D. Fernández-Arenas, E. Carrasco, R. Terlevich +20
We present a spatially resolved spectroscopic study for the metal poor HII galaxy J084220+115000 using MEGARA Integral Field Unit observations at the Gran Telescopio Canarias. We e…
Characterisation of the stellar content of SDSS EELGs through self-consistent spectral modelling
Iris Breda, José M. Vilchez, Polychronis Papaderos +6
Extreme emission line galaxies (EELGs) are a notable galaxy genus, ultimately being regarded as local prototypes of early galaxies at the cosmic noon. Robust characterisation of th…
Properties of five z~0.3-0.4 confirmed LyC leakers: VLT/XShooter observations
N. G. Guseva, Y. I. Izotov, D. Schaerer +7
Using new VLT/XShooter spectral observations we analyse the physical properties of five z~0.3-0.4 confirmed LyC leakers. Strong resonant MgII 2796,2803 emission lines (I(2796,2803)…
Chemodynamics of Green Pea galaxies -- I. Outflows and turbulence driving the escape of ionising photons and chemical enrichment
L. Hogarth, R. Amorín, J. M. Vílchez +6
We investigate the ionised gas kinematics, physical properties and chemical abundances of SDSS142947, a Green Pea galaxy at redshift z0.17 with strong, double-peak Ly e…
The Kennicutt-Schmidt Relation in Extremely Metal-Poor Dwarf Galaxies
M. E. Filho, J. Sánchez Almeida, R. Amorín +3
The Kennicutt-Schmidt (KS) relation between the gas mass and star formation rate (SFR) describes the star formation regulation in disk galaxies. It is a function of gas metallicity…
Localized starbursts in dwarf galaxies produced by impact of low metallicity cosmic gas clouds
J. Sanchez Almeida, B. G. Elmegreen, C. Munoz-Tunon +7
Models of galaxy formation predict that gas accretion from the cosmic web is a primary driver of star formation over cosmic history. Except in very dense environments where galaxy…
Extremely Metal-Poor Galaxies: The HI Content
M. E. Filho, B. Winkel, Sánchez Almeida +12
Extremely metal-poor (XMP) galaxies are chemically, and possibly dynamically, primordial objects in the local Universe. Our objective is to characterize the HI content of the XMP g…
A Virtual Observatory Census to Address Dwarfs Origins. AVOCADO - I. Science goals, sample selection and analysis tools
R. Sánchez-Janssen, R. Amorín, M. García-Vargas +9
(Abridged) AVOCADO aims at establishing firm conclusions on the formation and evolution of dwarf galaxies by constructing and analysing a homogeneous, multiwavelength dataset for a…
Complex gas kinematics in compact, rapidly assembling star-forming galaxies
Ricardo Amorín, José M. Vílchez, Guillermo Hägele +3
Deep, high resolution spectroscopic observations have been obtained for six compact, strongly star-forming galaxies at redshift z~0.1-0.3, most of them also known as Green Peas. Re…
The star formation history and metal content of the "Green Peas". New detailed GTC-OSIRIS spectrophotometry of three galaxies
Ricardo Amorín, E. Pérez-Montero, J. M. Vílchez +1
We present deep broad-band imaging and long-slit spectroscopy of three compact, low-mass starburst galaxies at redshift z\sim0.2-0.3, also referred to as Green Peas (GP). We measur…
On the oxygen and nitrogen chemical abundances and the evolution of the "green pea" galaxies
Ricardo O. Amorín, E. Pérez-Montero, J. M. Vílchez
We have investigated the oxygen and nitrogen chemical abundances in extremely compact star-forming galaxies with redshifts between 0.11-0.35, popularly referred to as "green…
Search for blue compact dwarf galaxies during quiescence II: metallicities of gas and stars, ages, and star-formation rates
J. Sanchez Almeida, J. A. L. Aguerri, C. Munoz-Tunon +1
We examine the metallicity and age of a large set of SDSS/DR6 galaxies that may be Blue Compact Dwarf (BCD) galaxies during quiescence (QBCDs).The individual spectra are first clas…
Search for Blue Compact Dwarf Galaxies During Quiescence
J. Sanchez Almeida, C. Munoz-Tunon, R. Amorin +3
Blue Compact Dwarf (BCD) galaxies are metal poor systems going through a major starburst that cannot last for long. We have identified galaxies which may be BCDs during quiescence…
The stellar host in blue compact dwarf galaxies: the need for a two-dimensional fit
Ricardo O. Amorin, Casiana Munoz-Tunon, J. Alfonso L. Aguerri +2
The structural properties of the low surface brightness stellar host in blue compact dwarf galaxies are often studied by fitting r^{1/n} models to the outer regions of their radial…
