Abstract

Long-slit optical and near-IR spectroscopy are presented for the bright NW and faint SE components of the oxygen-poor H II galaxy I Zw 18, yielding physical conditions and O, N, S, and He abundances for these components. All of the elemental abundances for the two components of I Zw 18 are equal (within errors), thereby placing constraints on evolutionary theories for this system.
