Scientific paper

We present the first results of a survey of Blue Compact Galaxies with a 10 micrometer array. Blue Compact Galaxies (BCGs) are dwarf galaxies experiencing an intense burst of star formation. As dwarf systems, their main characteristics is a low heavy-elements abundance. Although dust is thought to be less abundant in these galaxies than in normal spirals, the presence of a compact starburst region favors a detection in the infrared, and 10 micrometer imaging is perfectly suited to star formation studies in BCGs since it focuses on the hottest dust inside the star-forming regions.
