David C Nicholls, Michael A Dopita, Helmut Jerjen, Gerhardt R Meurer

摘要:

使用光学无偏的选择过程的基础上HIPASS中性氢调查,我们选择了一个样本的83个空间孤立的,富含气体的矮星系在南半球的cz之间的350和1650公里s-1,与R-波段光度和HI质量小于小麦哲伦云。该样本是本地宇宙中一个重要的矮星系群,所有这些星系都在进行恒星形成,其中大部分没有现有的光谱数据。我们正在测量这些星系的化学丰度,使用ANU 2.3米望远镜上的积分场光谱仪,宽场光谱仪(WiFeS)。本文描述了我们的调查标准和程序,列出了调查样本,并报告了初步观察结果。

英文摘要:

Using an optically-unbiased selection process based on the HIPASS neutral hydrogen survey, we have selected a sample of 83 spatially isolated, gas-rich dwarf galaxies in the southern hemisphere with cz between 350 and 1650 km s-1, and with R-band luminosities and HI masses less than that of the Small Magellanic Cloud. The sample is an important population of dwarf galaxies in the local Universe, all with ongoing star formation, and most of which have no existing spectroscopic data. We are measuring the chemical abundances of these galaxies, using the Integral Field Spectrograph on the ANU 2.3m telescope, the Wide Field Spectrograph (WiFeS). This paper describes our survey criteria and procedures, lists the survey sample, and reports on initial observations.
