In this paper, we report our studies on the gaseous and chemical properties of a relatively large sample (53 members) of blue compact dwarf galaxies (BCDs). The results of correlations among the oxygen abundance, stellar mass, gas mass,…
A sample of 16 blue compact dwarf galaxies (BCDs) in the Virgo Cluster has been imaged in the near-infrared (NIR) in $J$ and $K_s$ on the 2.1m telescope at OAN-SPM in Mexico. Isophotes as faint as $\mu_J$ = 24 mag arcsec$^{-2}$ and…
The impact of the cluster environment on the evolution of dwarf galaxies is investigated by comparing the properties of a sample of dwarf irregulars (dIs) in the Virgo Cluster with a control sample of nearby ("field") dIs having oxygen…
Long-slit spectroscopy has been obtained for a sample of 22 blue dwarf galaxies selected in the direction of the Virgo Cluster as part of a larger sample of Virgo blue dwarf galaxies for which deep Halpha imaging has been collected. Most of…
(abridged) The present work is a first step to collect homogeneous abundances and near-infrared (NIR) luminosities for a sample of dwarf irregular (dIrr) galaxies, located in nearby groups. The use of NIR luminosities is intended to provide…
Optical and HI imaging of gas rich dwarfs, both dwarf irregulars (dI) and blue compact dwarfs (BCD), reveals important clues on how dwarf galaxies evolve and their star formation is regulated. Both types usually show evidence for stellar…
In order to recognize environmental effects on the evolution of dwarf galaxies in clusters of galaxies, it is first necessary to quantify the properties of objects which have evolved in relative isolation. With oxygen abundance as the gauge…
We present the results of high spatial resolution HI observations of five intrinsically compact dwarf galaxies which are currently experiencing a strong burst of star formation. The HI maps indicate that these systems have a complex and…
We present and analyse the photometric properties of a nearly complete sample of blue compact dwarf (BCD) and irregular galaxies in the Virgo cluster from multi-band SDSS images. Our study intends to shed light on the ongoing debate of…
Optical and HI imaging of both dwarf irregular (dI) and Blue Compact Dwarf (BCD) galaxies reveal important clues on how dwarf galaxies evolve and their star formation is regulated. Both usually show evidence for stellar and gaseous disks.…
We report basic far-infrared (FIR) properties of eight blue compact dwarf galaxies (BCDs) observed by AKARI. We measure the fluxes at the four FIS bands (wavelengths of 65 um, 90 um, 140 um, and 160 um). Based on these fluxes, we estimate…
For a rotating galaxy, the inner circular-velocity gradient d_{R}V(0) provides a direct estimate of the central dynamical mass density, including gas, stars, and dark matter. We consider 60 low-mass galaxies with high-quality HI and/or…
It has long been speculated that Blue Compact Dwarf galaxies (BCDs) are formed through the interaction between low-mass gas-rich galaxies, but a few candidates of such systems have been studied in detail. We study a sample of compact…
A numerical double burst model of the chemical evolution of gas-rich dwarf galaxies has been developed. The model is fitted to a sample of N/O, O/H, Y and gas fraction observations, where N/O and O/H are the relative abundances by number of…
We present low- and high-resolution Spitzer/IRS spectra, supplemented by IRAC and MIPS measurements, of 22 blue compact dwarf (BCD) galaxies. The BCD sample spans a wide range in oxygen abundance [12+Log(O/H) between 7.4 and 8.3], and…
Dwarf irregular and blue compact galaxies are very interesting objects since they are relatively simple and unevolved. We present new models for the chemical evolution of these galaxies by assuming different regimes of star formation…
We have compared the metallicity (represented by oxygen abundance), and the dust-to-gas ratio, in a sample of dwarf galaxies. For dwarf irregulars (dIrrs) we find a good correlation between the two quantities, with a power-law index…
Blue Compact Dwarf and Dwarf Irregular galaxies are generally believed to be unevolved objects, due to their blue colors, compact appearance and large gas fractions. Many of these objects show an ongoing intense burst of star formation or…
We present oxygen abundance measurements for 74 blue compact dwarf (BCD) galaxies in the redshift range in [0.2, 0.5] using the strong-line method. The spectra of these objects are taken using Hectospec on the Multiple Mirror Telescope…
We investigate the star-formation history of gas-rich dwarf galaxies, taking account of the dynamical evolution of their neutral hydrogen (H{\sc i}) envelope. Gas-rich dwarfs are classified into blue compact dwarfs (BCDs) and dwarf…
