High-frequency radio continuum observations of a small sample of irregular and dwarf galaxies (Klein et al., 1983) have revealed that their integrated radio continuum spectra tend to be significantly flatter than those found for normal spirals (Gioia et al., 1982). This indicates a higher relative amount of thermal (free-free) emission.
