Descripción
We present preliminary results on high resolution Hα imaging of
the Wolf-Rayet blue compact dwarf galaxy (BCDG) Mrk 1094. This galaxy
presents a bar-shape structure and is currently undergoing a strong star
formation burst distributed in several knots. Spatially resolved
photometry of the different knots indicates that star formation seems to
be propagating from the center outwards all along the bar. We discuss
the different processes that could explain these observational facts. In
this sense, Mrk 1094 is the first BCDG in which this kind of phenomena
is detected.
