A New Photometric Look at M51
arXiv:astro-ph/9906352 · doi:10.1023/A:1017518411367
Abstract
A new technique is used to derive the extinction and age of populations in the interacting galaxies NGC5194 & NGC5195 from high S/N multicolor photometric data. A new evolutionary scenario of the interaction is proposed.
