Far-Infrared Properties of Blue Compact Dwarf Galaxies Observed with AKARI/Far-Infrared Surveyor (FIS)

We report on the basic far-infrared (FIR) properties of eight blue compact dwarf galaxies (BCDs) observed by AKARI. We have measured the fluxes at the four FIS bands (wavelengths of 65� m, 90� m, 140� m, and 160� m). Based on these fluxes, we have estimated basic quantities of dust: dust temperature, dust mass, and total FIR luminosity. We find that the typical dust temperature of the BCD sample is systematically higher than that of normal spiral galaxies, although there is a large variety. The interstellar radiation field estimated from the dust temperature ranges up to 100-times the galactic value. This confirms the concentrated star-forming activity in BCDs. The star
