The Centre of M83
arXiv:0710.1727 · doi:10.1017/S1743921308017997
Abstract
Stellar kinematics show no evidence of hidden mass concentrations at the centre of M83. We show the clearest evidence yet of an age gradient along the starburst arc and interpret the arc to have formed from orbital motion away from a starforming region in the dust lane.
