Star formation at small galactic scales

We present a study of the distribution of star, gas, and dust components in star-forming regions in nearby galaxies. The targets sample a wide range of luminosities and morphologies in order to study how the violent star formation influences the dust and gas distribution inside the star-forming regions.

The analysis is based on the comparison of multi-wavelength data from theFar-Ultraviolet (GALEX) to the Infrared (SPITZER and HERSCHEL).
