| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research projoect aims at searching for low-mass nearby starburst galaxies from present survey data, and at revealing starbursts in dwarf galaxies with wide-field integral-field spectroscopy for them. From spectroscopic archive data of Sloan Digital Sky Survey, we selected two galaxies with the following conditions: (1) the distance is within 200 Mpc, (2) the H-beta equivalent width is larger than 200 A, and (3) there are more than two clumps. We observed them with the Okayama 188-cm reflector telescope and fiber-type optical integral-field spectrograph KOOLS-IFU. The observed line ratios at clumps indicates that not only the brightest clump but also others are low-metal starburst regions. We could not find any evidence of shocked gas nor dynamically disturbed gas.
