Starburst galaxies
• Starburst: ~hundreds M yr-1 of gas are transformed into stars in an small region in the nuclei of galaxies
• Important impact on the host galaxy. Main contributors to the enrichment of the ISM.
• Some of them expell material into the IGM: the SGW
• Nuclear starburst• Blue Compact Dwarfs• (U)LIRGs
• Gas rich• Metal poor• “simple”
HII galaxies
![Page 3: A detailed 2D spectroscopic study of the Central Region of NGC 5253](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062408/568137a3550346895d9f48a0/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
What do we want to do?
• Analyse the physical (extinction, ionization and electron density structure…) and chemical conditions of the ionized gas.
• Analyse the kinematics of the gas using v and maps from H (or H) and [OIII]5007, etc.
• Identify the SSCs responsible of the gas structure.
We want to determine the detailed physical link between SSCs and the
ionized gas in starburst galaxies.

Where do we have extra Nitrogen?
The area of nitrogen enrichment covers the giant HII region + the tongue-shaped extension towards SE + the
tongue-shaped extension towards the NW.
![Page 9: A detailed 2D spectroscopic study of the Central Region of NGC 5253](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062408/568137a3550346895d9f48a0/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The Wolf-Rayet population (I)
• WR: Very bright objects with broad emission line in their spectra• WN: lines of Helium and Nitrogen• WC: lines of Helium, Carbon and
Oxygen
• Result of the evolution of O-stars• They date very precisely the age of
the stellar population where they are found
Blue bump
Red bump
The WR population in NGC5253 has
already been studied in specific areas
(e.g. Schaerer et al. 1997, 1999)
For the moment they are the best candidates for causing the Nitrogen enhancement. Other possibilities: LBVs, PNe, late O-stars
We can map the location of the WR population without any bias due to the slit position to check if it does coincide with the “N-enhanced” area
![Page 10: A detailed 2D spectroscopic study of the Central Region of NGC 5253](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062408/568137a3550346895d9f48a0/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
The Wolf-Rayet population (II)
WR features are distributed in an irregular manner in an area much larger than and not always coincident with the one enriched with Nitrogen
In general, WR are not necessarily the cause of this N-enrichment. (Possible exception: the SSCs at the nucleus and the two extensions).
![Page 11: A detailed 2D spectroscopic study of the Central Region of NGC 5253](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062408/568137a3550346895d9f48a0/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The He abundance (I)
“WR causing the N-enrichement” only consistent with a given quantity of Helium
We need He/H~0.12
(Kobulnicky et al. 1997)
How much Helium do we have?
![Page 12: A detailed 2D spectroscopic study of the Central Region of NGC 5253](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062408/568137a3550346895d9f48a0/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The He abundance (II)
-1.8
-2.5
He+/H~0.08-0.09
And what about the He++?
Once what detected but not any more.
(Campbell et al. 1986)
We have found some (He++/H<0.005!) BUT
• It is not enough
• It does not always spatially coincide with the WR emission and/or the “N-enhancement” areas.
Not enough

Summary of the GHIIR
• Larger extinction in the upper part of the f.o.v.• Larger density in the upper part of the f.o.v.• 2 narrow components in the lower part of the f.o.v.• 1 narrow component in the upper part of the f.o.v.• 1 broad component relatively symetric with respect to
the central clusters.• Offsets in velocity in [NII] (and [SII]) for the broad
component. Also “reversed” offsets for the narrow component.
• The broad components seems to have ~1.5 times more excess in N than the narrow one.

Summary
• The largest extinction is associated with the giant HII region. The peak of extinction is offset by 0.5” from the peak of emission in the continuum.
• [SII] lines indicate a gradient of ne from the HII region (790 cm-3) outwards. [ArIV] lines trace the areas of highest ne (4200-6200 cm-3).
• N-enhancement is located in the whole HII region peaking (more or less) at the peak of extinction.
• WR population is distributed over a much wider area.• The He that we find is not enough to explain the N-
enhancement with WRs.

Differential atmospheric refraction: change of the position of the image of an object in the focal plane with wavelenght due to atmosphere
With a slit
• We might lose light at some s• Or we have to observe at
parallactic angle
With an IFU
• The information is recorded but, maybe, in a different spaxel
