Starbust galaxies represent those galaxies which are currently experiencing a phase of active star formation which is substantially higher than the time average star formation rate. These galaxies are thus marked by the pridigous production of young stars which readily ionize the gas. In addition, to the ionization these massive stars will ultimately terminate their lives as Supernova . These massive stars and supernovae are able to heat the gas an induce a wind. This wind basically represents mechanical energy input into the gas which causes it to accelerate and blow out away from the galaxy. What we are particularly interested in for the case of low mass starburst galaxies is the possibility that the winds are so severe that the gas is blown completely out of the galactic potential and essentially the starburst is terminal in that respect. A technical discussion of galactic winds and baryonic blowout in the case of low mass galaxies can be found here To investigate this possibility we have selected two extreme starburst galaxies with astounding levels of H-alpha emission. These two galaxies are

Here is a sequence of some of the NGC 3310 FP images that were obtained at the Kitt Peak Observatory 4-meter telescope on the night of Dec 21, 1996. Each Image is 2 angstroms in bandpass and covers 100 km/s. Features which appear in some channels and dissappear in others are the result of velocity structure in the emitting gas.
