Abstract
We have observed the Blue Compact Dwarf Galaxy VII Zw 403 with the PSP C camera onboard ROSAT. We found a total X-ray luminosity of 1.94 x 10 (38) erg s(-1) distributed in a central core to which are connected th ree elongated structures. We interpret this X-ray morphology as the re sult of a hot gas outflow from the core of the dwarf galaxy powered by the present starburst.
