Lyman alpha emission from local starburst galaxies and high-z objects
G. Ostlin, M. Hayes, J. M. Mas-Hesse +3
We review the history and the current status of the understanding of the processes that regulate Lyman alpha emission from star-forming galaxies. We present some of the most recent…
The fate of Lyman photons in local Starburst: new ACS/HST images
Daniel Kunth, M. Hayes, G. Ostlin +3
We review the imaging and spectroscopic properties of the Lyman alpha emission in starburst galaxies. The Lyman alpha photons escape is largely driven by kinematical and orientatio…
A continuous low star formation rate in IZw 18 ?
F. Legrand, D. Kunth, J. -R. Roy +2
Deep long-slit spectroscopic observations of the blue compact galaxy IZw 18 obtained with the CFH 3.6 m Telescope are presented. The very low value of oxygen abundance previously r…
POX 186: the ultracompact Blue Compact Dwarf Galaxy reveals its nature
V. Doublier, D. Kunth, F. Courbin +1
High resolution, ground based R and I band observations of the ultra compact dwarf galaxy POX 186 are presented. The data, obtained with the ESO New Technology Telescope (NTT), are…
Populations of WC and WN stars in Wolf-Rayet galaxies
Daniel Schaerer, Thierry Contini, Daniel Kunth
We report the detection of WC stars in 5 Wolf-Rayet (WR) galaxies: He 2-10, NGC 3049, NGC 3125, NGC 5253 and Tol 89. The faint broad CIV5808 line requires sufficiently high S/N to…
The Lyman-alpha emission in local Star-Forming Galaxies: Scenario and Connection with Primeval Galaxies
D. Kunth, E. Terlevich, R. Terlevich +1
We review the Lyan alpha emission in local star-forming galaxies. In most cases as already shown by the IUE, the emission is absent or much weaker than expected. This occurs becaus…
