Scientific paper

We propose to observe 6 dwarf starburst galaxies showing Halpha evidence of nuclear outflows. Chandra observations of these galaxies, utilizing the excellent spatial and spectral resolution, will allow us to measure X-ray temperatures and map the sources of X-ray emission, and so determine the kinematics and morphologies of the outflows. We will also be able to distinguish between regions of diffuse emission and point-source emission (probably X-ray binaries). These observations will lead to a better understanding of the evolution of starbursts in dwarf galaxies and their effects on both the host galaxies and their surroundings. This sample of 6 galaxies will also allow us to better determine the X-ray luminosity function of these galaxies and their X-ray binary populations.
