Description
We present Integral Field Spectroscopy observations of NGC 5253, a very nearby (d ˜ 3.8 Mpc) HII galaxy. This type of observations allows the detailed study of the interplay between gas, dust and stars. Here, we will focus on recent results related to the cause of the local enrichment of nitrogen found for this galaxy as well as on its kinematics. In particular, for the first time we show maps with the velocities derived from Hα and [NII] in a starburst galaxy. Further details on these and other issues can be found in Monreal-Ibero et al. [2010], A&A, 517A, 27.

    How 4MOST and MOONS will improve constraints on the dynamical masses of Local Group galaxies
    The wide-field spectrographs 4MOST and MOONS are expected to enter operations in late 2024 at the ESO Paranal Observatory. These upcoming survey facilities will play an important role in various fields over the next decade. In particular, both will host surveys aimed at observing Local Group (LG) galaxies. We describe how their scientific

    Star Formation History of the Small Magellanic Cloud: the shell-like structure
    We present the spatially resolved star formation history (SFH) of a shell-like structure located in the northeastern Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). We quantitatively obtain the SFH using unprecedented deep photometric data (g ∼ 24 magnitude) from the SMASH survey and colour-magnitude diagram (CMD) fitting techniques. We consider, for the first time
