Description
We propose to carry out full-synthesis (12-h) HI ATCA observations of 6 bright Blue Compact Dwarf Galaxies (BCDGs). The HIPASS data of these objects indicate that they possess a considerable amount of neutral gas. We want to estimate the distribution of the HI in each BCDG and its surrounding, looking for independent HI clouds or morphological features that reveal interaction processes. We will also analyze the kinematics of the neutral gas and, using 1.4 GHz radio continuum maps, derive an extinction-free star formation rate. We will combine the data with the results obtained using optical/NIR images and spectroscopy. We remark that 3 of the galaxies will be observed at 8.2m VLT next semester.

    The role of AGN feedback on the evolution of dwarf galaxies from cosmological simulations: SMBHs suppress star formation in low-mass galaxies
    Recent observational studies suggest that feedback from active galactic nuclei (AGNs) may play an important role in the formation and evolution of low-mass dwarf galaxies, an issue that has received little attention from a theoretical perspective. We investigate this using two sets of 12 cosmological magneto-hydrodynamical simulations of the

    Using gas kinematics to measure resonant structures in disc galaxies: the interaction of M51 with NGC 5195
    Interstellar gas offers advantages when quantifying the structure of the resonances in disc galaxies. The gas is concentrated close to the disc mid-plane, making it easier to determine its in-plane velocity components, and it offers sharp emission lines for good velocity resolution. These properties are shared by atomic, molecular, and ionized gas

    Ultra-deep imaging of NGC1052-DF2 and NGC1052-DF4 to unravel their origins
    A number of scenarios have been proposed to explain the low velocity dispersion (and hence possible absence of dark matter) of the low surface brightness galaxies NGC1052-DF2 and NGC1052-DF4. Most of the proposed mechanisms are based on the removal of dark matter via the interaction of these galaxies with other objects. A common feature of these
