| Abstract |
The nearby Blue Compact Dwarf galaxy NGC 2537 is a small irregular
galaxy. We find that the C and X band radio continuum emission is
dominated by a large supernova complex. Our study of the distribution
and kinematics of the HI content of NGC 2537 show it to have extended
spiral structure, but an inner region that is more irreuglar in its
distribution of gas. We model the rotation curve and velocity field of
NGC 2537 and fit both with a range of mass models. We present our
results in the context of measuring the effects of stellar feedback on
the distribution and kinematics of gas within the galaxy. |
