Abstract: | We selected samples of late-type dwarf galaxies in the Virgo cluster with H i information. The galaxies were observed at the Wise Observatory using several broad-band and Hα bandpasses. UV measurements were carried out with the IUE Observatory from VILSPA, and with the FAUST shuttle-borne UV telescope. We describe the observations in detail, paying particular attention to the determination of measurement errors, and present the observational results together with published data and far-infrared information from IRAS . The sample will be analysed in subsequent papers, in order to study star formation mechanisms in galaxies. |
