The near-infrared colours of H II galaxies
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 May 2016
Abstract
We present preliminary results of our near-infrared JHK images of a sample of H II galaxies observed at UKIRT. The presence of knots of enhanced emission in the near-IR may indicate the existence of luminous super star clusters which will serve to unveil the basic units which constitute the starburst phenomenon in galaxies. Based on near-IR colours we will further discuss the history of star formation in these bursting dwarf galaxies.
