The Ionized Gas in Local Starburst Galaxies: Global and Small-Scale Feedback from Star Formation

The small- and intermediate-scale structure and the fraction of the interstellar medium (ISM) ionized by nonradiative processes are investigated in a small sample of four local starburst galaxies, imaged with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Wide Field Planetary Camera 2. The sample comprises three dwarf galaxies, NGC 3077, 4214, and …
