Abstract

Description

The determination of the metal abundances in the neutral interstellar medium of dwarf star-forming galaxies is a key step in understanding their physical and chemical evolution. This type of investigation has been possible in the last 5 years thanks to FUSE. We will give a flavor of the issues involved by presenting the work that we are performing in this astrophysical field.
3 pages. Contributed paper at the conference "Astrophysics in the Far Ultraviolet: Five Years of Discovery with FUSE", to be published by PASP, eds. Sonneborn, Moos and Andersson
