Description
We present Integral Field Spectroscopy observations of NGC 5253, a very
nearby (d ˜ 3.8 Mpc) HII galaxy. This type of observations allows
the detailed study of the interplay between gas, dust and stars. Here,
we will focus on recent results related to the cause of the local
enrichment of nitrogen found for this galaxy as well as on its
kinematics. In particular, for the first time we show maps with the
velocities derived from Hα and [NII] in a starburst galaxy.
Further details on these and other issues can be found in Monreal-Ibero
et al. [2010], A&A, 517A, 27.
