Abstract

We present detail study of helium ionic abundances of HII regions in Blue Compact Dwarf galaxies using new emissivities from [3]. On the base of new helium He/H and heavy elements abundances A/H [1, 2] different types of Y–Z dependences were analyzed. The values of primordial helium abundance Yp and heavy elements enrichment dY/dZ were obtained for different cases of HeI lines using.
