Luminous Compact Blue Galaxies in the Local Universe
Astrophys.J. 617 (2004) 1004-1016 We use the KPNO International Spectroscopic Survey (KISS) for emission-line galaxies to identify and describe a sample of local analogues to the luminous compact blue galaxies (LCBGs) that are observed to be abundant at intermediate and high redshift. The sample is...

| description | Astrophys.J. 617 (2004) 1004-1016 We use the KPNO International Spectroscopic Survey (KISS) for emission-line
galaxies to identify and describe a sample of local analogues to the luminous
compact blue galaxies (LCBGs) that are observed to be abundant at intermediate
and high redshift. The sample is selected using criteria believed effective at
isolating true examples of LCBGs: SB_e(B-band) < 21.0 mag/arcsec^2, M(B) <
-18.5 (for H_o = 75 km/s/Mpc), and B-V < 0.6. Additionally, all LCBG candidates
presented are selected to have star-formation as their dominant form of
activity. We examine the properties of our LCBGs and compare them to those of
other KISS star-forming galaxies of the same absolute magnitude range. We find
that the KISS LCBGs lie on the extreme end of a fairly continuous distribution
of ``normal'' star-forming galaxies in the plane of surface brightness versus
color. This result differs from the results of previous studies that show LCBGs
at higher-z to be more separate from the ``normal'' (usually non-active)
galaxies they are compared against. On average, LCBGs have a higher tendency to
emit detectable flux in the radio continuum, have higher H-alpha luminosities
by a factor of 1.6, indicating strong star-formation activity, and have
slightly lower than expected metal abundances based on the
luminosity-metallicity relation for KISS galaxies. We calculate the volume
density of our low-z (z |
