... Pustilnik S.A. - Ugryumov A.V. Two new blue compact (or HII) galaxies HS 1013+3809 and HS 1442+4250 were discovered in course of the Hamburg/SAO survey for emission-line galaxies. Both these very metal-deficient galaxies (log(O/H)+12.0 = 7.58 for HS 1013+3809 and 7.68 for HS 1442+4250) are comparatively bright and very nearby, and thus are good laboratories for detailed study of star formation bursts and related processes in very low metallicity environment. ...
