The age of the starbursts of a few H2 galaxies is derived from optical photometry and compared with previous results from radio continuum spectra. H2 galaxies are gas rich and characterized by the dominance of giant H2 regions, blue stellar colors, high surface brightness, and narrow emission lines. The presently observed high abundances of bright

We present high and low resolution multi-slit spectroscopy, together with V, forbidden O III, and H-alpha narrow band imaging of the unusual bipolar outflow source NGC 6905. As a consequence, we are able to investigate the excitation structure of the source, the properties of the central star, and the projected kinematic structure of the outflow

We are carrying out a long-term project with the main purposes of finding and analyzing low metallicity galaxies. A very small number of very low metallicity galaxies is known up to now. However these ojbects are particularly interesting since they are excellent candidates to 'young galaxies' in evolutionary sense as POX186 (Kunth, Maurogordato &

SAO 244567 (Hen 1357 = CPD -59 deg 6926 = IRAS 17119-5926) is an IRAS source with far infrared colors and flux distribution similar to those of planetary nebulae. The IUE ultraviolet spectra obtained in July 1988 and April 1992 show nebular emission lines, and also the changes in the spectra suggest the formation of the planetary nebula and the

We report the discovery of a population of dominant galaxies in rich clusters in which the radio axis is aligned along the optical major axis.
