We present 21cm HI line observations of the blue compact dwarf galaxy NGC1705. Previous optical observations show a strong outflow powered by an ongoing starburst dominating the HII morphology and kinematics. In contrast, most of the HI lies in a rotating disk. An extraplanar HI spur accounts for ~ 8% of the total HI mass, and is possibly associated with the HII outflow. The inferred mass loss rate out of the galaxys core is significant ~ 0.2 - 2 M_sun/yr, but does not dominate the HI dynamics. Mass model fits to the rotation curve show that the dark matter (DM) halo is dominant at nearly all radii and has a central density rho_0 approx 0.1 M_sun/pc^3: ten times higher than typically found in dwarf irregular galaxies, but similar to the only other mass-modelled blue compact dwarf, NGC2915. This large difference strongly indicates that there is little evolution between dwarf irregular and blue compact dwarf types. Instead, dominant DM halos may regulate the morphology of dwarf galaxies by setting the critical surface density for disk star formation. Neither our data nor catalogue searches reveal any likely external trigger to the starburst in NGC1705.

VLA and Parkes 64 m radiotelescope 21-cm observations of the starburst dwarf galaxy NGC 5253 reveal a multi-component non-axisymmetric HI distribution. The component associated with the stellar body shows evidence for a small amount of rotational sup
port aligned with the major axis, in agreement with optically measured kinematics and consistent with the small galaxian mass. Approximately 20-30% of the HI emission is associated with a second component, an HI plume extending along the optical minor axis to the southeast. We consider outflow, inflow, and tidal origins for this feature. Outflow appears improbable, inflow is a possibility, and tidal debris is most consistent with the observations. These observations also reveal a filamentary third component that includes an 800 pc diameter HI shell or bubble to the west of the nucleus, coinciding with an Halpha shell. The mass of HI in the shell may be as large as ~4x10^6 Msun. This large mass, coupled with the lack of expansion signatures in the neutral and ionized gas (v<30 km/s), suggests that this feature may be an example of a starburst-blown bubble stalled by interaction with a massive neutral envelope. Many other HI kinematic features closely resemble those seen in Halpha emission from the ionized gas, supporting the interpretation of neutral and ionized gas outflow at velocities of ~30 km/s. Comparison between extinction estimates from the Balmer emission-line decrement and the HI column densities suggest a gas-to-dust ratio 2-3 times the Galactic value in this low-metallicity (Z=1/4 Zsun) galaxy.
Our GMRT HI observations of the ultra diffuse galaxy (UDG) UGC 2162, projected $sim$ 300 kpc from the centre of the M77 group, reveal it to a have an extended HI disk (R$_{HI}$/R$_{25}$ $sim$ 3.3) with a moderate rotational velocity (V$_{rot} sim$ 31
km/s). This V$_{rot}$ is in line with that of dwarf galaxies with similar HI mass. We estimate an M$_{dyn}$ of $sim$ 1.14 $times$ 10$^{9}$ M$_odot$ within the galaxys R$_{HI}$ $sim$ 5.2 kpc. Additionally, our estimates of M$_{200}$ for the galaxy from NFW models are in the range of 5.0 to 8.8 $times$ 10$^{10}$ M$_odot$. Comparing UGC 2162 to samples of UDGs with HI detections show it to have amongst the smallest R$_e$ with its M$_{HI}$/M$_{star}$ being distinctly higher and g -- i colour slightly bluer than typical values in those samples. We also compared HI and dark matter (DM) halo properties of UGC 2162 with dwarf galaxies in the LITTLE THINGS sample and find its DM halo mass and profile are within the range expected for a dwarf galaxy. While we were unable to to determine the origin of the galaxys present day optical form from our study, its normal HI rotation velocity in relation to its HI mass, HI morphology, environment and dwarf mass DM halo ruled out some of the proposed ultra diffuse galaxy formation scenarios for this galaxy.
As part of our study on the impact of violent star formation on the interstellar medium (ISM) of dwarf galaxies, we report observations of neutral atomic hydrogen (HI) in the post-starburst dwarf galaxy NGC 1569. High-resolution measurements with the
VLA (B-, C- and D-array) are aimed at identifying morphological and kinematical signatures in the HI caused by the starburst. Our kinematical data suggest a huge hole in the HI distribution, probably due to the large number of supernovae explosions in the center of the galaxy over the past 20 Myr. Investigating the large-scale HI structure, we confirm the existence of a possible HI companion and a so-called HI bridge east of NGC 1569. Furthermore, we report the detection of additional low-intensity HI halo emission, which leads us to suggest a revised halo structure. Based on the new picture, we discuss the origin of the halo gas and possible implications for the evolution of the starburst in NGC 1569.
Thanks to the capabilities of modern telescopes and instrumentation, it is now possible to resolve single stars in external dwarf galaxies, provided they are bright enough. For galactic regions with deep enough photometry, detailed colour-magnitude d
iagrams are constructed, from which the star formation history and the initial mass function can be inferred by comparison with synthetic diagrams. Both the star formation history and the initial mass function are free parameters of galactic chemical evolution models. In this contribution we show how constraining them through high resolution photometry in principle allows us to better understand the mechanisms of dwarf galaxy formation and evolution.
We study the shape and kinematics of simulated dwarf galaxy discs in the APOSTLE suite of $Lambda$CDM cosmological hydrodynamical simulations. We find that a large fraction of these gas-rich, star-forming discs show weak bars in their stellar compone
nt, despite being dark matter-dominated systems. The bar pattern shape and orientation reflect the ellipticity of the dark matter potential, and its rotation is locked to the slow figure rotation of the triaxial dark halo. The bar-like nature of the potential induces non-circular motions in the gas component, including strong bisymmetric flows that can be readily seen as m=3 harmonic perturbations in the HI line-of-sight velocity fields. Similar bisymmetric flows are seen in many galaxies of the THINGS and LITTLE THINGS surveys, although on average their amplitudes are a factor of ~2 weaker than in our simulated discs. Our results indicate that bar-like patterns may arise even when baryons are not dominant, and that they are common enough to warrant careful consideration when analyzing the gas kinematics of dwarf galaxy discs.
