cds-question@unistra.frgalaxy-rotationObservations of six luminous blue compact galaxies (BCGs) and two star forming companion galaxies were carried out with the CIGALE scanning Fabry-Perot interferometer attached to the ESO 3.6m telescope on La Silla. The observations were made in the H-alpha emission line which is prominent in BCGs. A velocity sampling of 5km/s and a pixel size of 0.9arcseconds were used. In this paper we present the observations and the data together with the velocity fields and the derived rotation curves. In addition we provide rough estimates of the total dynamical mass and of the ionised gas mass for each galaxy. All galaxies display rotation, but while the companion galaxies have regular velocity fields, those of the BCGs are complex and appear perturbed. This is the most extensive study to date of the optical velocity fields of BCGs. The interpretation of these results will be presented in a forthcoming paper (Paper II).1999A&AS..137..419Ohttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/A+AS/137/419CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic servicerelated-toJ/ApJ/511/639 : Abundances in blue compact galaxies (Izotov+, 1999)J/A+AS/139/1 : HI in Byurakan blue comact galaxies (Thuan+, 1999)J/A+AS/147/169 : Accurate positions of 2978 SBS objects (Bicay+, 2000)J/A+A/373/24 : Blue compact galaxies from SBS (Pustilnik+ 2001)https://cds.unistra.fr/vizier-org/licences_vizier.htmlhttps://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/A+AS/137/419https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/A+AS/137/419http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/A+AS/137/419https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/A+AS/137/419https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/A+AS/137/419http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/A+AS/137/419GETtext/xml+votablehttps://tapvizier.cds.unistra.fr/TAPVizieR/tapOpticaldefaultJ/A+AS/137/419/table6Rotation curvesNameGalaxy namemeta.id;meta.mainchare_Vrec? rms uncertainty on Vreckm/sstat.errorintnullableModel?
