The ages of circumnuclear starbursts from Near-IR spectroscopy: Bushfires or Mexican Wave
(2001)
We have pbtained K-band spectra with CGS4 on UKIRT for circumnuclear star-forming regions in NGC 4321, NGC 2903 and NGC 7469. A comparison of the equivalent widths of Bry emission and CO absorption with starburst models ...
Arm and Interarm star formation in spiral galaxies
(2001)
We present an outline of our study of the effects of star formation on the different components of the interstellar medium in the discs of spiral galaxies, both globally and as a function of arm and interarm environment. ...
High-resolution imaging of stars, dust, and star formation in nuclear rings in galaxies
(Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 2001)
Nuclear rings in barred spiral galaxies offer an opportunity to study starburst properties, as well as the evolution of star formation in the central regions of galaxies. To further our understanding in these areas, a large ...
Circumnuclear Star Formation in M100
(2001)
Near-infrared (JHK) images of the nucleus of the barred spiral galaxy M100 (NGC 4321) have been obtained using a high-bandwidth tip-tilt secondary and fast guider system on the 3.8 m United Kingdom Infrared Telescope ...
Kinematics in the central kiloparsec of spiral galaxies
(Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 2001)
Results from kinematic observations of the central regions of spiral galaxies are reviewed, with particular emphasis on starburst and AGN hosts. While morphological studies lead to important insights, a more complete ...
