AbstractWe derive the chemical composition of the neutral gas in the blue compact dwarf (BCD) Pox 36 observed with FUSE. Metals (N, O, Ar, and Fe) are underabundant as compared to the ionized gas associated with H ii regions by a factor ~7. The neutral gas, although it is not pristine, is thus probably less chemically evolved than the ionized gas. This could be due to different dispersal and mixing timescales. Results are compared to those of other BCDs observed with FUSE. The metallicity of the neutral gas in BCDs seems to reach a lower threshold of ~1/50 Z⊙ for extremely-metal poor galaxies.

Radio recombination lines (RRL) at 8 GHz and 15 GHz detected from four starburst galaxies are shown to arise in compact high density HII regions, which are undetectable below ∼4 GHz. Detection of an RRL at 1.4 GHz towards one galaxy and upper limits in the other three are consistent with the presence of an equal amount of low density diffuse gas. Continuum flux density measurements using the GMRT will be important in constraining the properties of the diffuse gas.

We have obtained images of the H2and Brγ emission lines in the galaxy interacting system NGC 3690 + IC 694. We have also obtained simultaneous H- and K-band spectra for three of its 2μm continuum peaks. The most detectable line emission is concentrated at the continuum peaks. Therefore, the emission lines as well as stellar absorption lines can be used as tracers of the activity in the nuclei themselves. From the strong Brγ and marginal detection of Br10 at the nucleus of IC 694, we derive a large extinction for the fully ionized gas in this nucleus. If we adopt this extinction also for the [Fe II]1.64μm emission, the extinction-corrected [Fe II]1.64μm/Brγ ratio will lie at the higher end of starburst galaxies, and is typical for AGNs or AGN/starburst composites. This might imply that many SNRs are involved in the starburst at this nucleus, unless it includes an AGN. All of our results for Component C, including very little CO absorption in the K band, a largeEW(Brγ), a small H2/Brγ ratio, the effective temperature (Teff≃ 40,000K) derived from HeI 1.70μm/Br10 and HeI 2.06μm/Brγ, are consistent with a very young starburst.
