Abstract (from CDS):

We present 3.6m ESO telescope spectroscopic observations of the system of the two blue compact dwarf galaxies SBS 0335-052W and SBS 0335-052E. The oxygen abundance in SBS 0335-052W is 12+logO/H=7.13±0.08, confirming that this galaxy is the most metal-deficient emission-line galaxy known. We find that the oxygen abundance in SBS 0335-052E varies from region to region in the range from 7.20 to 7.31, suggesting the presence of an abundance gradient over a spatial scale of ≲1kpc. Signatures of early carbon-type Wolf-Rayet stars are detected in cluster #3 of SBS 0335-052E, corresponding to the emission of 20 to 130 WC4 stars, depending on the adopted luminosity of a single WC4 star in the C IV λ4658 emission line.
