Hunt (Firenze) Star Formation in BCDs Theory – Star Formation and Dust Conclusions Contents: BCDs are nearby “laboratories” of high-z primeval galaxies. Blue Compact Dwarfs Star formation (blue) Small (compact) Low metallicity ? early stage of evolution I Zw 18 (Brown et al. 2002) 300 pc Hunt, Hirashita, et al. (2003) “Active”: dense and compact “Passive”: diffuse Prototypes SBS 0335–052 (1/41 Zsun) I Zw 18 (1/50 Zsun) log (density) [cm–3] log (size) [pc]→ ←Surface brightness I Zw 18 H2 → not detected Dust → small extinction (AV = 0.2 mag) and not detected in FIR (Cannon et al. 2002) SFR → small: 0.04– 0.1 Msun / yr (Cannon et al. 2002; Hopkins et al. 2002) ISM Properties SBS 0335–052 H2 → detected in NIR (Vanzi et al. 2000) Dust → large extinction (AV =16 mag) and large luminosity in FIR (Hunt et al. 2001; Dale et al. 2001; Takeuchi et al. 2003) SFR → large: 1.7 Msun / yr (Hunt et al. 2001) Are those properties simultaneously explained? 2. Theory – Star Formation and Dust Dust is supplied by Type II SNe (m* 8 Msun). Dust per SN = 0.4 Msun (Todini Ferrara 2001). SFR (t) ? SN II rate (t) ? Mdust (t) 　　　　 (IMF) e Mgas/tff (Mgas, rSF) (e = 0.1) Hirashita Hunt (2004) Consistent with the data of SBS 0335–052 and I Zw 18 IR dust emission UV ←Compact “active” ←Diffuse “passive” “Active” star-forming regions tends to be infrared luminous. Diffuse region ? (converse properties) ← “passive” Dense and compact ? rapid increase of dust optical depth ? cooled and molecule rich ← characteristic of “active” The properties of “active” and “passive” BCDs are explained by dust accumulation in compact and diffuse regions. Gas temperature drops fast enough (a burst of star formation possible) in “active” regions. The “active” regions tend to be
