abstract:

    line_1:        It is proposed to observe a few blue compact dwarf galaxies at high angular
    line_2:        resolution. The most massive stars are expected to be resolved and identified
    line_3:        by an exposure through a far UV filter. Further exposures with a near UV and
    line_4:        visible filters would give their colors. The aim is to determine how star
    line_5:        formation may be affected by the extreme conditions known to be present in this
    line_6:        category of objects (intense burst of star formation, low heavy element
    line_7:        abundances, large amount of neutral hydrogen).
    line_9:        An exposure with the WF/PC in the far red is supposed to reveal the possible
    line_10:       existence of an older generation of stars.

  question:        3
    section:       1
    line_1:        For each of 5 targets 1) FOC exposure through F165W, F342W and F437M
    line_2:        (this latter filter avoids emission line)
    line_3:        2) WFC or PC exposure through F850LP
    line_5:        FOC exposure times are calculated for a BO (M(V) = -4) star
    line_6:        WF/PC exposure times are calculated for a KO (M(V) = -2) star
    line_8:        For the three more distant objects, the exposure through F342W and F437M are
    line_9:        conditional on the obtention of enough resolved stars in the far UV image.
    line_16:       PROBLEM: as certain if this is the case
