We have obtained sensitive upper limits on the CO J=2-1 and CO J=3-2 emission lines for five faint blue galaxies with redshifts $z\sim 0.5$ using the IRAM 30~m telescope. These observations would have been able to detect the luminous…

Spectroscopic long-slit observations of the dwarf Irr galaxy IC 10 were conducted at the 6-m Special Astrophysical Observatory telescope with the SCORPIO focal reducer. The ionized-gas emission spectra in the regions of intense current star…

We report on the first detailed infrared chemical analysis of five binary members (S277, S997, S975, S1031, and S1195) in the open cluster M67 (NGC 2682). These stars are located outside (bluer and/or brighter than) the main-sequence…

We present VLT spectroscopic observations with different spectral resolutions and different slit orientations of the two metal-deficient blue compact dwarf (BCD) galaxies Tol 1214-277 and Tol 65. The oxygen abundances in the brightest HII…

Using new J-band VLT-ISAAC and Keck-NIRSPEC spectroscopy, we have measured Halpha and [NII] line fluxes for 0.47<z<0.92 CFRS galaxies which have [OII], Hbeta and [OIII]a line fluxes available from optical spectroscopy, to investigate how…

We present mid-infrared maps and preliminary analysis for 61 galaxies observed with the ISOCAM instrument aboard the Infrared Space Observatory. Many of the general features of galaxies observed at optical wavelengths---spiral arms, disks,…

We present new Very Large Array observations at five frequencies, from 1.4 to 22GHz, of the extremely low-metallicity blue compact dwarf SBS0335-052. The radio spectrum shows considerable absorption at 1.49GHz, and a composite…

We present 3.6m ESO telescope spectroscopic observations of the system of the two blue compact dwarf galaxies SBS 0335-052W and SBS 0335-052E. The oxygen abundance in SBS 0335-052W is 12 + log O/H = 7.13 +/- 0.08, confirming that this…

We discuss the approach of searching low mass dwarf galaxies, $\lesssim10^6\textrm{ M}_{\odot}$, in the general field, using integrated light surveys. By exploring the limiting surface brightness-spatial resolution…

The most intensively star-forming galaxies are extremely luminous at far-infrared (FIR) wavelengths, highly obscured at optical and ultraviolet wavelengths, and lie at $z\ge 1-3$. We present a programme of ${\it Herschel}$ FIR spectroscopic…
