We present the results of spectrophotometry and BVR CCD photometry, as well as integrated HI radio measurements of a new blue compact galaxy (BCG) HS 0822+3542 with extremely low oxygen abundance: 12+log(O/H) = 7.35, or 1/36 of solar value. The galaxy is the third most metal-deficient BCG after I Zw 18 and SBS 0335-052. Its very high mass fraction of gas (~95% of all visible mass) and blue colours of underlying nebulosity are also similar to those of SBS 0335-052. This suggests that HS 0822+3542 is one of the nearest and dimmest galaxies experiencing a recently-started first star formation (SF) episode. Its properties imply that for such galaxies there is a linear scaling of the main parameters, at least for the baryon mass range (0.3-20)x10^8 M_sun. The total mass estimate indicates that the galaxy is dynamically dominated by a dark matter (DM) halo, which itself is one of the least massive for galaxies.

Extremely metal-poor galaxies with metallicity below 10% of the solar value in the local universe are the best analogues to investigating the interstellar medium at a quasi-primitive environment in the early universe. In spite of the ongoing formatio
n of stars in these galaxies, the presence of molecular gas (which is known to provide the material reservoir for star formation in galaxies, such as our Milky Way) remains unclear. Here, we report the detection of carbon monoxide (CO), the primary tracer of molecular gas, in a galaxy with 7% solar metallicity, with additional detections in two galaxies at higher metallicities. Such detections offer direct evidence for the existence of molecular gas in these galaxies that contain few metals. Using archived infrared data, it is shown that the molecular gas mass per CO luminosity at extremely low metallicity is approximately one-thousand times the Milky Way value.
SN 2018hti is a Type I superluminous supernova (SLSN~I) with an absolute $g$-band magnitude of $-22.2$ at maximum brightness, discovered in a metal-poor galaxy at a redshift of 0.0612. We present extensive photometric and spectroscopic observations o
f this supernova, covering the phases from $sim -35$ days to more than +340 days from the $r$-band maximum. Combining our $BVgri$-band photometry with {it Swift} UVOT optical/ultraviolet photometry, we calculated the peak luminosity as $sim 3.5times10^{44}$ erg s$^{-1}$. Modeling the observed light curve reveals that the luminosity evolution of SN 2018hti can be produced by an ejecta mass of 5.8 $M_odot$ and a magnetar with a magnetic field of $B=1.8times10^{13}$~G having an initial spin period of $P_0=1.8$ ms. Based on such a magnetar-powered scenario and a larger sample, a correlation between the spin of the magnetar and the kinetic energy of the ejecta can be inferred for most SLSNe~I, suggesting a self-consistent scenario. Like for other SLSNe~I, the host galaxy of SN 2018hti is found to be relatively faint ($M_{g} = -17.75$ mag) and of low metallicity ($Z=0.3~Z_odot$), with a star-formation rate of 0.3 $M_odot$ yr$^{-1}$. According to simulation results of single-star evolution, SN 2018hti could originate from a massive, metal-poor star with a zero-age main sequence (ZAMS) mass of 25--40 $M_odot$, or from a less massive rotating star with $M_mathrm{ZAMS} approx 16$--25 $M_odot$. For the case of a binary system, its progenitor could also be a star with $M_mathrm{ZAMS} gtrsim 25$ $M_odot$.
Carbon monoxide (CO) is one of the primary coolants of gas and an easily accessible tracer of molecular gas in spiral galaxies but it is unclear if CO plays a similar role in metal poor dwarfs. We carried out a deep observation with IRAM 30 m to sear
ch for CO emission by targeting the brightest far-IR peak in a nearby extremely metal poor galaxy, Sextans A, with 7% Solar metallicity. A weak CO J=1-0 emission is seen, which is already faint enough to place a strong constraint on the conversion factor (a_CO) from the CO luminosity to the molecular gas mass that is derived from the spatially resolved dust mass map. The a_CO is at least seven hundred times the Milky Way value. This indicates that CO emission is exceedingly weak in extremely metal poor galaxies, challenging its role as a coolant in these galaxies.
And IV is a low-surface brightness (LSB) dwarf galaxy at the distance of 6.1 Mpc, projecting close to M 31. In this paper the results of spectroscopy of And IV the two brightest HII regions with the SAO 6-m telescope (BTA) are presented. In both of t
hem the faint line [OIII]4363 was detected that allowed us to determine their O/H by the classical T_e method. Their values of 12+log(O/H) are equal to 7.49+-0.06 and 7.55+-0.23, respectively. The comparison of these direct O/H determinations with the two most reliable semi-empirical and empirical methods shows their good consistency. For And IV absolute blue magnitude of M_B=-12.6, our value of O/H corresponds well to the `standard relation between O/H and L_B for dwarf irregular galaxies (DIGs). And IV appears to be a new representative of the extremely metal-deficient gas-rich galaxies in the Local Volume. The very large range of M(HI) for LSB galaxies with close metallicities and luminosities indicates that the simple models of LSBG chemical evolution are too limited to predict such striking diversity.
We present HI spectral-line imaging of the extremely metal-poor galaxy DDO 68. This system has a nebular oxygen abundance of only 3% Z$_{odot}$, making it one of the most metal-deficient galaxies known in the local volume. Surprisingly, DDO 68 is a r
elatively massive and luminous galaxy for its metal content, making it a significant outlier in the mass-metallicity and luminosity-metallicity relationships. The origin of such a low oxygen abundance in DDO 68 presents a challenge for models of the chemical evolution of galaxies. One possible solution to this problem is the infall of pristine neutral gas, potentially initiated during a gravitational interaction. Using archival HI spectral-line imaging obtained with the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array, we have discovered a previously unknown companion of DDO 68. This low-mass (M$_{rm HI}$ $=$ 2.8$times$10$^{7}$ M$_{odot}$), recently star-forming (SFR$_{rm FUV}$ $=$ 1.4$times$10$^{-3}$ M$_{odot}$ yr$^{-1}$, SFR$_{rm Halpha}$ $<$ 7$times$10$^{-5}$ M$_{odot}$ yr$^{-1}$) companion has the same systemic velocity as DDO 68 (V$_{rm sys}$ $=$ 506 km s$^{-1}$; D $=$ 12.74$pm$0.27 Mpc) and is located at a projected distance of 42 kpc. New HI maps obtained with the 100m Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope provide evidence that DDO 68 and this companion are gravitationally interacting at the present time. Low surface brightness HI gas forms a bridge between these objects.
