Description
We present the main results of the Ph.D. thesis carried out by
López-Sánchez (Ph.D. thesis, 2006), in which a detailed
morphological, photometric and spectroscopic analysis of a sample of 20
Wolf-Rayet (WR) galaxies was performed. The main aims are the study of
the star formation and O and WR stellar populations in these galaxies,
and the role that interactions between low surface brightness companion
objects have in the triggering of the bursts. We analyze the morphology,
stellar populations, physical conditions, chemical abundances and
kinematics of the ionized gas, as well as the star-formation activity of
each system.
