Using the short-high module of the Infrared Spectrograph on the Spitzer Space Telescope, we have measured the [S IV] 10.51, [Ne II] 12.81, [Ne III] 15.56, and [S III] 18.71-micron emission lines in nine H II regions in the dwarf irregular…
We present the first Herschel PACS and SPIRE images of the low-metallicity galaxy NGC6822 observed from 70 to 500 mu and clearly resolve the HII regions with PACS and SPIRE. We find that the ratio 250/500 is dependent on the 24 mu surface…
(Abridged) We present a study of the ionizing stars associated with the diffuse ionized gas (DIG) and HII regions in the nearby spiral galaxy M33. We compare our Schmidt H-alpha image to the far-ultraviolet (FUV, 1520A) image from the…
We present new [Ne II] (12.8 micron) IRTF/TEXES observations of the Galactic Center HII regions H1 and H2, which are at a projected distance of ~11 pc from the center of the Galaxy. The new observations allow to map the radial velocity…
We performed a high-sensitivity search for galaxy-scale magnetic fields by radio polarimetry at 10.45GHz and 4.85GHz with the Effelsberg 100m radio telescope, accompanied by Halpha imaging, for the two Local Group irregular galaxies IC10…

We have discovered a number of very small isolated HII regions 20-30 kpc from their nearest galaxy. The HII regions appear as tiny emission line dots (ELdots) in narrow band images obtained by the NOAO Survey for Ionization in Neutral Gas…

We present long slit optical spectroscopy of 67 HII regions in 21 dwarf irregular galaxies to investigate the enrichment of oxygen, nitrogen, neon, sulfur, and argon in low mass galaxies. Oxygen abundances are obtained via direct detection…
The galaxy NGC6384 has been observed with an IPCS through H alpha and [NII] narrow-band interference filters for direct imagery with the 2.6 m Byurakan telescope. We studied main physical parameters of identified 98 HII regions, their…
Preliminary results on the detection of a conspicuous number of variable stars in the dwarf irregular galaxy NGC 6822 are presented. We stress the need for packages specifically designed to the search of variables in distant galaxies and/or…
Studying metal-poor galaxies is crucial for understanding the physical mechanisms driving the evolution of galaxies. Most observational works in dwarf galaxies employ integral field unit data to investigate gas physics in the entire galaxy…
Using MUSE AO data, we probe the ISM in the local spiral galaxy NGC 7793 at a spatial resolution of $\sim$ 10 pc. We identify HII regions and compile a catalogue of supernova remnants (SNRs), planetary nebulae (PNe) and Wolf Rayet stars…
We have analyzed deep narrow-band H$\alpha$ images and high-resolution long-slit spectra for a sample of the nearest and brightest late-type galaxies to study the morphology, physical state, and kinematics of the `Diffuse Ionized Medium'…
We present long slit spectrophotometry of regions V and X of the local group irregular galaxy NGC 6822. The data consist of VLT FORS observations in the 3450 to 7500 A range. We have obtained electron temperatures and densities using…
Observations of ionised H$\alpha$ gas in high-redshift disc galaxies have ubiquitously found significant line broadening, $\sigma_{\rm H\alpha}\sim10-100$ km s$^{-1}$. To understand whether this broadening reflects gas turbulence within the…
Spectroscopic measurements of emission line ratios and velocities are presented for ionized gas across the central plane of NGC 55, a late-type galaxy in the Sculptor group. The low metallicity in NGC 55 leads to relatively low line ratios…
We present the results of study of the ionized gas velocity fields in 28 nearby (systemic velocity below 1000 km/s) dwarf galaxies. The observations were made at the 6-m BTA telescope of the SAO RAS with the scanning Fabry-Perot…

Gas infall and outflow are critical for determining the star formation rate and chemical evolution of galaxies but direct measurements of gas flows are diffcult to make. Young massive stars and HII regions in the halos of galaxies are…
