Abstract (from CDS):

We present the morphology and stellar population of 27 extremely metal-poor galaxies (EMPGs) at z ∼ 0 with metallicities of 0.01-0.1 Z☉. We conduct multicomponent surface brightness (SB) profile fitting for the deep Subaru/Hyper Suprime-Cam i-band images of the EMPGs with the GALFIT software, carefully removing the SB contributions of tails. We find that the EMPGs with a median stellar mass of log(M*/M☉)=6.0 have a median Sersic index of n = 1.1 and a median effective radius of re = 200 pc, suggesting that typical EMPGs have a very compact disk. We compare the EMPGs with z ∼ 6 galaxies and local galaxies on the size-mass (re-M*) diagram, and identify that the majority of the EMPGs have an re-M* relation similar to z ∼ 0 star-forming galaxies rather than z ∼ 6 galaxies. Not every EMPG is a local analog of high-z young galaxies in the re-M* relation. A spectrum of one pair of EMPG and tail, so far available, indicates that the tail is dynamically related to the EMPG with a median velocity difference of ΔV = 101 ± 32 km s–1. This moderately large ΔV cannot be explained by the dynamics of the tail, but likely by the infall on the tail. For the first time, we may identify the metal-poor star-forming system just now infalling into the tail.
