Description
Interaction can be the main mechanism that triggers star formation in Wolf-Rayet galaxies. The compact group HCG 31 has one of this objects, NGC 1741. We present new observations of this compact interacting group, in order to analyse the physical conditions and chemical composition of the ionized gas, as well as to estimate the ages of the starbursts.
