Description
We present the analysis of the photometric and spectroscopic properties of a pilot sample of spectroscopically-confirmed intermediate-redshift blue compact dwarf galaxies (BCDs) located in the Hubble Ultra Deep Field. We found that applying the classic BCD definition, we recover a mix of galaxies with a wide range of star-forming activity, metallicity and morphologies.
