112 4 • Long-slit spectrophotometry of multiple knots of Hii galaxies position of the line in the rest frame, λ 6563 Å. A continuum profile was also generated by collapsing 11 resolution pixels centred at λ 6593 Å. The difference between the two, corresponds to the pure Hα emission. It can be seen from the profiles that in knot C of IIZw71, the most intense one, the peaks of the continuum and line emission do not coincide spatially but are separated by 1.6 arcsec. Also the width of the continuum profile is larger than that of the line emission. This suggests that most of this continuum is coming from the host galaxy behind the knot. From Figure 4.2 it is clear than the continuum emission is not very strong. The regions of the frames to be extracted into one-dimensional spectra corresponding to each of the knots were selected on the Hα line and are marked by horizontal lines in the left panel of Figure 4.3. In the right panel of the same figure we show the Hα image and continuum contours in the R-band from Gil de Paz et al. (2003) in order to illustrate the position of the bursts of star formation and the relative position of the host galaxy. We also show elliptical regions in Hα taken to measure the total Hα flux of the knots for an aperture correction of the slit measurements. The different emission knots are labelled in both figures. 4.3 Results 4.3.1 Line intensities and reddening correction The spectra of the four knots of IIZw71 (labelled from A to D) and the three knots of J1657 (labelled from A to C) with some of the relevant identified emission lines are shown in Figures 4.4 (Knot A and B of IIZw71), 4.5 (Knot C and D of IIZw71), 4.6 (Knot A and B of J1657) and 4.7 (Knot C of J1657). The spectrum of each observed knot is split into two panels. Knot A of J1657corresponds to the one analyzed by Hägele et al. (2008). In the case of IIZw71, Knot C, as expected, shows the greatest contribution from an underlying stellar population. The emission line fluxes were measured on the spectra using the splot task of IRAF. We used two different ways to integrate the flux of a given line. (1) In the case of an isolated line, the intensity was calculated by integrating between two points given by the position of a local continuum placed by eye. (2) In the case of the two lines of [Oii] at λλ 3727, 29 Å, which are partially blended, a multiple Gaussian fit procedure to estimate individual fluxes was used. This procedure is illustrated in Figure 4.8 for the particular case of the doublet [Oii] λλ 3727,2729 Å in the spectra of Knot B of IIZw71. The statistical errors associated with the measured emission line fluxes were calculated, as in Chapter §3, using the expression: σ l = σ c √N ( 1 + EW ) N∆ where σ l is the error in the measured line flux, σ c represents the standard deviation in a box near the measured emission line and stands for the error in the continuum placement, N is
