Star formation properties of isolated blue compact galaxies.
ZITRIN A., BROSCH N. and BILENKO B.
Abstract (from CDS):
We found that the SFRs range within 0.1-1.0 M☉/yr, with a median rate of 0.6 M☉/yr. The observed galaxy colours are better explained by the combination of a continuous SF process with a recent instantaneous SF burst, than by a combination of several instantaneous bursts, as has been suggested previously. We compare our results for the SFR of the sample galaxies with that of samples of dwarf galaxies (DGs) in the Virgo cluster (VC) and find that the BCGs have significantly stronger SFRs. The BCGs follow the correlation between Hα emission and starlight found for DGs in the VC and for other BCGs.
