The origin of the escape of Lyman alpha and ionizing photons in Lyman Continuum Emitters

S. Gazagnes, J. Chisholm, D. Schaerer +2

Identifying the mechanisms driving the escape of Lyman Continuum (LyC) photons is crucial to find Lyman Continuum Emitter (LCE) candidates. To understand the physical properties in…

Do galaxies that leak ionizing photons have extreme outflows?

J. Chisholm, I. Orlitová, D. Schaerer +5

To reionize the early universe, high-energy photons must escape the galaxies that produce them. It has been suggested that stellar feedback drives galactic outflows out of star-for…

Balmer jump temperature determination in a large sample of low-metallicity H II regions

N. G. Guseva, Y. I. Izotov, P. Papaderos +1

Aims. Continuing the systematic determination of the electron temperature of H II regions using the Balmer and/or Paschen discontinuities by Guseva et al. (2006) we focus here on 3…

Chandra Observations of the Three Most Metal-Deficient Blue Compact Dwarf Galaxies known in the Local Universe, SBS 0335-052, SBS 0335-052W, and I Zw 18

T. X. Thuan, F. E. Bauer, P. Papaderos +1

We present an X-ray study of the three most metal-deficient blue compact dwarf (BCD) galaxies known in the local Universe, based on deep Chandra observations of SBS 0335-052 (0.025…

Low-Metallicity Blue Compact Dwarfs as Templates for Primordial Star Formation

L. K. Hunt, H. Hirashita, T. X. Thuan +2

Understanding how galaxies formed their first stars is a vital cosmological question, but the study of high-redshift objects, caught in the act of forming their first stars, is dif…

HST observations of the cometary blue compact dwarf galaxy UGC 4483: a relatively young galaxy?

Y. I. Izotov, T. X. Thuan

We present V and I photometry of the resolved stars in the cometary blue compact dwarf galaxy UGC 4483 using Hubble Space Telescope Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 (WFPC2) images. Th…
