We use the KPNO International Spectroscopic Survey (KISS) for emission-line galaxies to identify and describe a sample of local analogues to the luminous compact blue galaxies (LCBGs) that are observed to be abundant at intermediate and high redshift. The sample is selected using criteria believed effective at isolating true examples of LCBGs: SB_e(B-band) < 21.0 mag/arcsec^2, M(B) < -18.5 (for H_o = 75 km/s/Mpc), and B-V < 0.6. Additionally, all LCBG candidates presented are selected to have star-formation as their dominant form of activity. We examine the properties of our LCBGs and compare them to those of other KISS star-forming galaxies of the same absolute magnitude range. We find that the KISS LCBGs lie on the extreme end of a fairly continuous distribution of ``normal star-forming galaxies in the plane of surface brightness versus color. This result differs from the results of previous studies that show LCBGs at higher-z to be more separate from the ``normal (usually non-active) galaxies they are compared against. On average, LCBGs have a higher tendency to emit detectable flux in the radio continuum, have higher H-alpha luminosities by a factor of 1.6, indicating strong star-formation activity, and have slightly lower than expected metal abundances based on the luminosity-metallicity relation for KISS galaxies. We calculate the volume density of our low-z (z<0.045) sample to be 5.4 x 10^-4 h_75^3 Mpc^-3, approximately 4 times lower than the volume density of the LCBGs at 0.4 < z < 0.7 and ~10 times lower than the volume density of the population at 0.7 < z < 1.0.
Luminous Compact Blue Galaxies (LCBGs) are common at z~1, contributing significantly to the total star formation rate density. By z~0, they are a factor of ten rarer. While we know that LCBGs evolve rapidly, we do not know what drives their evolution
We study the morphology and star formation properties of 159 local luminous infrared galaxy (LIRG) using multi-color images from Data Release 2 (DR2) of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). The LIRGs are selected from a cross-correlation analysis bet
We describe the dynamical properties which may be inferred from HST/STIS spectroscopic observations of luminous compact blue galaxies (LCBGs) between 0.1<z<0.7. While the sample is homogeneous in blue rest-frame color, small size and line-width, and
The kinematic properties of the ionized gas of local Luminous Compact Blue Galaxy (LCBG) NGC 7673 are presented using three dimensional data taken with the PPAK integral field unit at the 3.5-m telescope in the Centro Astronomico Hispano Aleman. Our
Luminous compact blue galaxies (LCBGs) are a diverse class of galaxies characterized by high luminosities, blue colors, and high surface brightnesses. Residing at the high luminosity, high mass end of the blue sequence, LCBGs sit at the critical junc
