Descripción
We propose to carry out full-synthesis (12-h) HI ATCA observations of 8
bright Blue Compact Dwarf Galaxies (BCDGs), for which we have already
got interesting results. Some are apparently isolated, others belong to
galaxy groups. We want to estimate the distribution of the HI in each
BCDG and its surrounding, looking for independent HI clouds or
morphological features that reveal interaction processes. We will also
analyze the kinematics of the neutral gas and, using 1.4 GHz radio
continuum maps, derive an extinction-free star formation rate. We will
combine the data with the results obtained using UV/optical/NIR images
and spectroscopy. We remark that 4 of the galaxies have been observed at
the 8.2m VLT and 5 will be observed at the 10.4m GTC and the Herschel
observatory.
