The results of chemical abundance determination for the studied galaxies are presented in Table 2. The comparison of the respective data for UM 133 and UM 382 with the abundance ratios from Izotov & Thuan ([1999]) shows that they well agree with the derived average values for the sample of low metallicity BCGs.
UM 133
The galaxy is elongated and resembles on morphology a comet-like object.
It looks like an edge-on disk, bent on NE edge.
Our long-slit spectrum in the H-region with the dispersion of
1.2 Å/pixel allows to derive the radial velocity curve along the ``disk''
(see Fig. 1a). A velocity gradient is well seen over the whole
body and there is no sign of a flattening on both NE and SW edges.
The full range of the velocity curve is about 100 km s-1.
This is slightly lower than W0.2=122
11 km s-1 - the full
width for the 21 cm line of the integrated H I emission at the level
0.2 of peak (Thuan et al. [1999]).

With these data in hands it is difficult to go further into global kinematics
of UM 133. Apparent rather strong deviations from a regular rotation curve,
amounting up to 15-20 km s-1 (seemingly due to outflows in the regions
of current and recent intensive SF) prevent us to derive the form of the
galaxy rotation curve. From the B-band image of UM 133 (Fig 1c)
it is reasonable to suggest that its dynamical centre is situated near the
second, less luminous, quasi-central H II region, roughly corresponding
to the position along the slit at R =-18. Respective systemic radial
velocity of 16305 km s-1 is well consistent with that derived
from the integrated H I profile (Thuan et al. [1999]).
The continuous H-emission and a smooth velocity distribution along
the galaxy body favour its interpretation as a single object in opposite to
the NED data, where UM 133 is shown as two galaxies with the difference of
radial velocities of
500 km s-1.
We notice the detection of characteristic WR-galaxy broad feature, in which Si III 4565 Å, N III 4640 Å and He II 4640 Å can be identified. Thus UM 133 is one of a few very metal-poor galaxies, where WR-features are detected.
The measured total B = 1571005, and corresponding absolute
magnitude, corrected for Galaxy extinction (AB=007)
MB0 = -1604.
For UM 133 SBP in Fig. 1b we performed an exponential "disc"
fitting, resulted in the central surface brightness
= 22.83
0.01
mag arcsec-2 and the scale length
= 812
018
(or 0.88 kpc).
Then, based on the measured total B-magnitude
we derive the apparent magnitude of
the SF burst component in SW knot and that of the underlying galaxy as
1706 and 1606, respectively.
From the H
brightness profile in Fig. 1a one can see
that the current SF activity besides of SW bright knot ``a'' is well traced
almost over the whole galaxy body.
Therefore the emission sampled in our B-band SBP, is probably heavily
contaminated by current and recent SF and should rather be considered as a
"plateau" component (Papaderos et al. [1996]), than real underlying
disc of old stellar population.
UM 382
Our oxygen abundance for UM 382 (12+log(O/H) = 7.760.07) is significantly
higher than those presented by Masegosa et al. ([1994])
(7.45
0.04) and derived on the same data by Telles ([1995])
(7.52
0.07). Since those results were obtained from a Reticon spectrum
with a lower S/N ratio we consider the new data as a more reliable. Therefore
UM 382 is not an extremely metal-poor H II galaxy. We derive for this
galaxy heliocentric velocity Vhel = 3510
54 km s-1 in comparison
to the value 3598 km s-1 from Terlevich et al. ([1991]).
UM 283 This galaxy have appeared with 12+log(O/H)=7.59 in Gallego et al. ([1997]) as UCM 0049+0017. We have paid attention that the relative line intensities for this object reproduced in our Table 1 from Table 4 of Gallego et al ([1996]), according to the standard method by Pagel et al. ([1992]) lead, with Te=16,100 (Gallego et al. [1997]) to the value 7.95, but not 7.59. Therefore, we suggest that UM 283 appeared as a very metal-poor object just as a result of a misprint.
Summarising the new data presented above we conclude: 1) UM 133 is confirmed
as a BCG with very low metallicity (Z
1/20 Z
)
and its SW
bright H II region, in which we detected WR blue bump, is confirmed as
the part of the larger galaxy; 2) UM 382 is significantly more metal-rich
(Z
1/15 Z
)
than it was claimed based on an early Reticon
spectrum;
3) UM 283 is significantly more metal-rich than claimed in the literature
(Z
1/10 Z
).
