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 ...
New Structures in Galactic Disks: Predictions and Discoveries
(Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 2001)
Our main goal is to review: 1) some physical mechanisms which form the observed structures in galactic disks; 2) the discovery of new galactic structures predicted earlier. Specifically in the first part of the paper we ...
A near-infrared imaging survey of nearby spiral galaxies
(Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 2001)
K-band imaging was carried out on a sample of 57 spiral galaxies to map their stellar backbones, examine the underlying mass distribution across the arm and interarm regions, and perform bulge:disk decomposition. As within ...
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 ...
