# Star Formation in Nearby Dwarf Galaxies

## TL;DR

This study measures H-alpha fluxes in 66 nearby galaxies, analyzing star formation rates and features in dwarf and late-type spiral galaxies within the local volume.

## Contribution

It provides new H-alpha flux measurements and star formation analysis for a diverse sample of nearby dwarf and spiral galaxies.

## Key findings

- Star formation rates vary among different galaxy types.
- Dwarf galaxies exhibit distinct star formation features.
- Data enhances understanding of star formation in local universe.

## Abstract

We report the measured H$\alpha$ fluxes and images of 66 nearby objects observed with the 6-m telescope of the Special Astrophysical Observatory of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Three of these objects: IC2233, UGC4704, and NGC3432 are late-type spiral galaxies, six objects are distant globular clusters of the M31 galaxy, and the remaining ones are dwarf galaxies. We used the measured H$\alpha$ fluxes to estimate the integrated and specific star-formation rates and analyzed some of the main features of star formation in dwarf galaxies and late-type spirals based on a sample of more than 500 Local volume galaxies.
