We will use optical integral field spectrocopy in combination with multi-wavelength data, specially radio observations. Combining optical integral field unit and radio data, we will be able to locate the WR stars and SNRs across the WR galaxies, and to study the spatial correlation between them, and the ionized gas properties. This study will shed light on the massive star formation and its feedback, and will help us to better understand distant star-forming galaxies. |
