Hot gas outflow in the blue compact dwarf galaxy VII ZW 403.
Abstract
We have observed the Blue Compact Dwarf Galaxy VII Zw 403 with the PSPC camera onboard ROSAT. We found a total X-ray luminosity of 1.94x10^38^erg/s distributed in a central core to which are connected three elongated structures. We interpret this X-ray morphology as the result of a hot gas outflow from the core of the dwarf galaxy powered by the present starburst.
