Scientific paper

We present preliminary results on high resolution Hα imaging of the Wolf-Rayet blue compact dwarf galaxy (BCDG) Mrk 1094. This galaxy presents a bar-shape structure and is currently undergoing a strong star formation burst distributed in several knots. Spatially resolved photometry of the different knots indicates that star formation seems to be propagating from the center outwards all along the bar. We discuss the different processes that could explain these observational facts. In this sense, Mrk 1094 is the first BCDG in which this kind of phenomena is detected.
