Scientific paper

We have observed the Blue Compact Dwarf Galaxy VII Zw 403 with the Position Sensitive Proportional Counter (PSPC) camera onboard ROSAT. We found a total X-ray luminosity of 1.94 x 1038 erg/s distributed in a central core to which are connected three elongated structures. We interpret this X-ray morphology as the result of a hot gas outflow from the core of the dwarf galaxy powered by the present starburst.
