We introduce a project aimed at systematically searching for eXtremely Metal-Poor (XMP) very gas-rich blue dwarfs in voids in the nearby Universe. Several such galaxies were first identified in the course of an unbiased study of the galaxy population in the nearby Lynx-Cancer void. These very rare and unusual galaxies appear to be the best proxies for the so-called Very Young Galaxies (VYGs) defined recently in the model simulations by Tweed et al. (2018). We discuss the main properties of ten prototype objects residing in nearby voids and formulate criteria to search for similar dwarfs in other voids. The recently published sample of 1354 Nearby Void Galaxies (NVG) is used to identify a subsample of 60 void dwarf XMP candidates. We provide a list of these XMP candidates with their main parameters and finding charts. These candidates are the subjects of subsequent spectral, photometric and HI studies in the accompanying papers. Looking ahead, with reference to the submitted accompanying papers, we find that this study results in the discovery of many new XMP dwarfs with 12+log(O/H) ~ 7.0-7.3 dex.
We present the second part of results of the on-going project of searching for and studying eXtremely Metal-Poor (XMP, adopted as those with Z(gas) <~ Zo/30, or with 12+log(O/H) <~ 7.21~dex) very gas-rich blue dwarfs in voids.They were first identifi
The intermediate results of the ongoing study of deep samples of ~200 galaxies residing in nearby voids, are presented. Their properties are probed via optical spectroscopy, ugri surface photometry, and HI 21-cm line measurements, with emphasis on th
Half-dozen of extreme representatives of void dwarf galaxy population were found in our study of evolutionary status of a hundred galaxies in the nearby Lynx-Cancer void. They are very gas-rich, extremely low-metallicity [7.0 < 12+log(O/H)< ~7.3] obj
We present the first results of a project aimed at searching for gas accretion events and interactions between late-type galaxies in the void environment. The project is based on long-slit spectroscopic and scanning Fabry-Perot interferometer observa
We present the detection of molecular gas using CO(1-0) line emission and follow up Halpha imaging observations of galaxies located in nearby voids. The CO(1-0) observations were done using the 45m telescope of the Nobeyama Radio Observatory (NRO) an
