The spectroscopic data are used to derive the internal extinction and to compute metallicities, electronic density, and temperature in the knots. By subtracting the contribution of the underlying older stellar population, modeled by an exponential function, removing the contribution from emission lines, and correcting for extinction, we can measure the true colors of the young star-forming knots. We show that the colors obtained this way differ significantly from those derived without the above corrections and lead to different estimates of the ages and star-forming history of the knots. Using predictions of evolutionary synthesis models, we estimate the ages of both the starburst regions and the underlying stellar component. We found that we can reproduce the colors of all the knots with an instantaneous burst of star formation and the Salpeter initial mass function ( IMF) with an upper mass limit of 100 M-circle dot. The resulting ages range between 3 and 6 Myr. The colors of the low surface brightness component are consistent with ages larger than 5 Gyr. The kinematic results suggest ordered motion around the major axis of the galaxy."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1086/342134"],["dc.identifier.isi","000178033200017"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/38305"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Univ Chicago Press"],["dc.relation.issn","0004-637X"],["dc.title","Spectrophotometric observations of blue compact dwarf galaxies: Markarian 370"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

We present contour maps, surface brightness and color profiles, and color maps of the sample galaxies. The morphology of the BCDs in the near-infrared (NIR) has been found to be basically the same as in the optical. The inner regions of these systems are dominated by the starburst component. At low surface brightness levels the emission is due to the underlying host galaxy; the latter is characterized by red, radially constant colors and isophotes well fitted by ellipses. We derive accurate optical-NIR host galaxy colors for eight of the sample galaxies; these colors are typical of an evolved stellar population. Interestingly, optical-NIR color maps reveal the presence of a complex, large-scale absorption pattern in three of the sample galaxies. We study the applicability of the Sersic law to describe the surface brightness profiles of the underlying host galaxy and find that, because of the limited surface brightness interval over which the fit can be made, the derived Sersic parameters are very sensitive to the selected radial interval and to errors in the sky subtraction. Fitting an exponential model gives generally more stable results and can provide a useful tool to quantify the structural properties of the host galaxy and compare them with those of other dwarf classes, as well as with those of star-forming dwarfs at higher redshifts."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1086/376516"],["dc.identifier.isi","000184585600023"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/45462"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Univ Chicago Press"],["dc.relation.issn","0004-637X"],["dc.title","Deep near-infrared mapping of young and old stars in blue compact dwarf galaxies"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Blue compact galaxies (BCG) are gas-rich, low-luminosity, low-metallicity systems that undergo a violent burst of star formation. These galaxies offer us a unique opportunity to investigate collective star formation and its effects on galaxy evolution in a relatively simple environment. Spatially resolved spectrophotometric studies of BCGs are essential for a better understanding of the role of starburst-driven feedback processes on the kinematical and chemical evolution of low-mass galaxies near and far. Aims. We carry out an integral field spectroscopic study of a sample of BCGs, with the aim of probing the morphology, kinematics, dust extinction, and excitation mechanisms of their warm interstellar medium. Methods. Eight BCGs were observed with the VIMOS integral field unit at the Very Large Telescope using blue and orange grisms in high-resolution mode. At a spatial sampling of 0\".67 per spaxel, we covered about 30\" x 30\" on the sky, with a wavelength range of 4150...7400 angstrom. Emission lines were fitted with a single Gaussian profile to measure their wavelength, flux, and width. From these data we built two-dimensional maps of the continuum and the most prominent emission-lines, as well as diagnostic line ratios, extinction, and kinematic maps. Results. An atlas has been produced with the following: emission-line fluxes and continuum emission; ionization, interstellar extinction, and electron density maps from line ratios; velocity and velocity dispersion fields. From integrated spectroscopy, it includes tables of the extinction corrected line fluxes and equivalent widths, diagnostic-line ratios, physical parameters, and the abundances for the brightest star-forming knots and for the whole galaxy."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1051/0004-6361/201322518"],["dc.identifier.isi","000353579600021"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/12398"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/37241"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Edp Sciences S A"],["dc.relation.issn","1432-0746"],["dc.relation.issn","0004-6361"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Fakultät für Physik"],["dc.title","VIMOS integral field spectroscopy of blue compact galaxies I.
