We characterize the star formation in the low-metallicity galaxy NGC 6822 over the past few hundred million years, using GALEX far-UV (FUV, 1344-1786 A) and near-UV (NUV, 1771-2831 A) imaging, and ground-based Ha imaging. From GALEX FUV…

We present accurate and deep multi-band ($g,r,i$) photometry of the Local Group dwarf irregular galaxy NGC 6822. The images were collected with wide field cameras at 2m/4m- (INT,CTIO,CFHT) and 8m-class telescopes (SUBARU) covering a 2…

We investigate the star formation threshold in NGC 6822, a nearby Local Group dwarf galaxy, on sub-kpc scales using high-resolution, wide-field, deep HI, Halpha and optical data. In a study of the HI velocity profiles we identify a cool and…
