Linking Compact Dwarf Starburst Galaxies in the RESOLVE Survey to Downsized Blue Nuggets

We identify and characterize compact dwarf starburst (CDS) galaxies in the RESOLVE survey, a volume-limited census of galaxies in the local universe, to probe whether this population contains any residual ``blue nuggets,'' a class of intensely star-forming compact galaxies first identified at high redshift z. Our 50 low-z CDS galaxies... Show more
