Description
We propose to perform deep narrow band imaging in several emission lines of interest for a sample of blue compact dwarf galaxies at the GTC, with the OSIRIS facility in tunable filter mode. From the emission line maps, we will determine the physical properties of the diffuse ionized gas and disentangle the nature of the ionizing source.
