A DEEPER LOOK AT FAINT Hα EMISSION IN NEARBY DWARF GALAXIES

We present deep Hα imaging of three nearby dwarf galaxies, carefully selected to optimize observations with the Maryland-Magellan Tunable Filter (MMTF) on the Magellan 6.5 m telescope. An effective bandpass of ~13 Å is used, and the images reach 3σ flux limits of ~8 × 10[superscript −18] erg s[super...
