To appear in ApJ Dust in an extremely metal-poor galaxy: mid-infrared observations of SBS
The metal deficient (Z = Z⊙/41) Blue Compact Dwarf Galaxy (BCD) SBS0335-052 was observed with ISOCAM between 5 and 17μm. With a L12μm/LB ratio of 2.15, the galaxy is unexpectedly bright in the mid-infrared for such a low-metallicity object. The mid-infrared spectrum shows no sign of the Unidentified Infrared Bands, which we interpret as an effect of the destruction of their carriers by the very...
متن کاملDust in the Extremely Metal-poor Blue Compact Dwarf Galaxy Izw18: the Spitzer Mid-infrared View
IZw18, a blue compact dwarf (BCD) galaxy with the 2nd lowest metallicity measured in a starforming object, has been observed with all three instruments on board the Spitzer Space Telescope. We present the deepest 5−36μmmid-infrared (mid-IR) spectrum of this galaxy as yet obtained, as well as 3.6μm to 70μm imaging results. As with SBS0335-052E, another BCD with similar metallicity, I Zw18 shows ...
متن کاملVLT / GIRAFFE spectroscopic observations of the metal - poor blue compact dwarf galaxy SBS 0335 – 052 E ⋆ ⋆ ⋆
Aims. We present two-dimensional spectroscopy of the extremely metal-deficient blue compact dwarf (BCD) galaxy SBS 0335–052E aiming to study physical conditions, element abundances and kinematical properties of the ionised gas in this galaxy. Methods. Observations were obtained in the spectral range λ3620 – 9400Å with the imaging spectrograph GIRAFFE installed on the UT2 of the Very Large Teles...
متن کاملChemical composition of extremely metal-poor stars in the Sextans dwarf spheroidal galaxy
Context. Individual stars in dwarf spheroidal galaxies around the Milky Way Galaxy have been studied both photometrically and spectroscopically. Extremely metal-poor stars among them are very valuable because they should record the early enrichment in the Local Group. However, our understanding of these stars is very limited because detailed chemical abundance measurements are needed from high ...
متن کاملCarbon monoxide in an extremely metal-poor galaxy
Extremely metal-poor galaxies with metallicity below 10% of the solar value in the local universe are the best analogues to investigating the interstellar medium at a quasi-primitive environment in the early universe. In spite of the ongoing formation of stars in these galaxies, the presence of molecular gas (which is known to provide the material reservoir for star formation in galaxies such a...
