We analyze archival Ly$\alpha$ spectra of 12 "Green Pea" galaxies observed with the Hubble Space Telescope, model their Ly$\alpha$ profiles with radiative transfer models, and explore the dependence of Ly$\alpha$ escape fraction on various…

We measured the X-ray fluxes from an optically-selected sample of blue compact dwarf galaxies (BCDs) with metallicities <0.07 and solar distances less than 15 Mpc. Four X-ray point sources were observed in three galaxies, with five galaxies…

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 measure physical properties of the ionized gas and derive…

Green Pea galaxies are compact galaxies with high star formation rates. However, limited samples of Green Pea galaxies have HI 21 cm measurements. Whether the HI gas fraction f_{HI} = M_{HI}/M_{*} of Green Pea galaxies follows the existing…

We have used the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) to map H{\sc i} 21\,cm emission from the Green Pea galaxy GP~J1148+2546 at $z\approx0.0451$, only the second measurement of the H{\sc i} spatial distribution of a Green Pea. The VLA…

Context. Green Pea galaxies (GPs) are local starburst galaxies serving as analogues for high-redshift star-forming galaxies, particularly Lyman continuum leakers. It remains debated whether their starbursts are driven by internal secular…

We have used the Arecibo Telescope and the Green Bank Telescope to carry out a deep search for H{\sc i}~21\,cm emission from a large sample of Green Pea galaxies, yielding 19 detections, and 21 upper limits on the H{\sc i} mass. We obtain…

We present a detailed analysis of the rest-frame optical emission line ratios for three spectroscopically confirmed galaxies at $z>7.5$. The galaxies were identified in the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) Early Release Observations field…

Green Pea and Blueberry galaxies are well-known for their compact size, low mass, strong emission lines and analogs to high-z Ly{\alpha} emitting galaxies. In this study, 1547 strong [OIII]{\lambda}5007 emission line compact galaxies with…

We report on a study of 9 nearby star-forming, very low-metallicity galaxies observed by Hubble's COS far-UV spectrograph that can serve as templates of high-z galaxies to be observed by JWST. We find that the nebular spectra of these…

Owing to their quiet evolutionary histories, nearby dwarf galaxies (stellar masses $M_\star \lesssim 3 \times 10^9 M_\odot$) have the potential to teach us about the mechanism(s) that 'seeded' the growth of supermassive black holes, and…

Results are reported from the first survey of X-ray emission from galaxies in pairs. The sample consists of fifty-two pairs of galaxies from the Catalog of Paired Galaxies Karachentsev (1972) whose coordinates overlap ROSAT Position…
