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"]]

The models are restricted by the size of the diffuse X-ray emitting region, the H luminosity from the star-forming region, and the superbubble diffuse X-ray luminosity. We have reobserved VII Zw 403 with a better sensitivity corresponding to the threshold Halpha flux 8.15 x 10(-17) ergs cm(-2) s(-1). The total Halpha luminosity derived from our data is much larger than reported before and presents a variety of ionized laments and incomplete shells superimposed on the diffuse Halpha emission. This result has a profound impact on the predicted properties of the starburst-blown superbubble. Numerical calculations based on the Hubble Space Telescope Halpha data predict two different scenarios of star formation able to match simultaneously all observed parameters. These are an instantaneous burst of star formation with a total mass of 5 x 10(5) M-. and a star-forming event with a constant star formation rate SFR = 4 x 10(-3) M-. yr(-1), which lasts for 35 Myr. The numerical calculations based on the energy input rate derived from our observations predict a short episode of star formation lasting less than 10 Myr with a total star cluster mass of similar to(1-3 x 10(6) M-.. However, the five main star-forming knots are sufficiently distant to form a coherent shell in a short timescale and still keep their energies blocked within local, spatially separated bubbles. The X-ray luminosities of these are here shown to be consistent with the ROSAT PSPC diffuse X-ray emission."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1086/339969"],["dc.identifier.isi","000175311200019"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/43771"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Univ Chicago Press"],["dc.relation.issn","0004-6256"],["dc.title","On the recent history of star formation in the blue compact dwarf galaxy VII Zw 403"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

We demonstrate how a combination of these different processing methods allows a separate analysis of the young and old stellar populations with respect to their colours and spatial distributions. By comparing the derived colours with the predictions of evolutionary synthesis models, we estimate ages of the distinct stellar populations. The surface-brightness profiles of Mrk 5 show an exponential decay at large photometric radii, with slopes typically found for BCDs. In the case of the very compact object I Zw 123, the surface-brightness profile of the underlying stellar component can be described either by an exponential or an R-1/4 law. We discuss briefly how noise effects can influence the intrinsic slope of surface brightness profiles at low surface-brightness levels.

We show that the exponential intensity decrease observed in the filamentary LSB envelope of the BCD out to 18\" (1.3 kpc at the adopted distance of 15 Mpc) is not due to an evolved stellar disc, but rather due to extended ionized gas emission. Broad-band images reveal, after subtraction of nebular line emission, a compact stellar LSB component extending slightly beyond the SF regions. This stellar host, being blue over a radius range of 5 exponential scale lengths and showing little colour contrast to the SF component, differs strikingly from the red LSB host of standard BCDs. This fact, in connection with the blue colours of component I Zw 18 C (see discussion in Papaderos et al. 2002), suggests that most of the stellar mass in I Zw 18 has formed within the last 0.5 Gyr. Furthermore, we show that the exponential intensity fall-off in the filamentary ionized envelope of I Zw 18 is not particular to this system but a common property of the ionized halo of many SF dwarf galaxies on galactocentric distances of several kpc. In the absence of an appreciable underlying stellar background, extended ionized gas emission dominates in the periphery of I Zw 18, superficially resembling an exponential stellar disc on optical surface brightness profiles. The case of I Zw 18 suggests caution in the search of more distant young galaxy candidates. Intense SF activity in the early phase of dwarf galaxy formation may result in an extended ionized gas halo which can be mistaken for an evolved stellar disc by studying only its exponential surface brightness profile."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1023/A:1024022409637"],["dc.identifier.isi","000183320500064"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/46688"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Kluwer Academic Publ"],["dc.publisher.place","Dordrecht"],["dc.relation.conference","Conference on the Appropriate Modellings of Galaxy Evolution from their Cosmological Formation to their Presently Observable Structures"],["dc.relation.eventlocation","KIEL, GERMANY"],["dc.relation.issn","0004-640X"],["dc.title","Photometric studies of very metal-deficient blue compact dwarf galaxies: The exponential ionized gas halo of I Zw 18"],["dc.type","conference_paper"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
