The Toomre Sequence Revisited with HST/NICMOS: Nuclear Brightness Profiles and Colors of Interacting and Merging Galaxies
Joern Rossa, Seppo Laine, Roeland P. van der Marel +4
We discuss the near-infrared properties of the nuclei in the 11 merging galaxies of the Toomre sequence, based on high spatial resolution J, H, and K imaging data using NICMOS onbo…
The Infrared Properties of Hickson Compact Groups
K. E. Johnson, J. E. Hibbard, S. C. Gallagher +4
Compact groups of galaxies provide a unique environment to study the mechanisms by which star formation occurs amid continuous gravitational encounters. We present 2MASS (JHK), Spi…
An HI Rogues Gallery
J. E. Hibbard, J. H. van Gorkom, M. P. Rupen +1
We have begun a compilation of HI maps of peculiar galaxies kindly contributed by individual investigators, many as part of the ``Gas & Galaxy Evolution'' conference. In this galle…
HST Observations of the Nuclear Regions of the Toomre Sequence of Merging Galaxies
S. Laine, R. P. van der Marel, T. Boeker +3
We present first results from an HST WFPC2 imaging and STIS spectroscopy program to investigate the structural and star forming properties in the nuclear regions of the Toomre Sequ…
From Globular Clusters to Tidal Dwarfs: Structure Formation in Tidal Tails
Jane Charlton, Karen Knierman, Sally Hunsberger +4
Star clusters can be found in galaxy mergers, not only in central regions, but also in the tidal debris. In both the Eastern and Western tidal tails of NGC 3256 there are dozens of…
HI in Early-Type Galaxies
T. Oosterloo, R. Morganti, E. M. Sadler
We briefly discuss the main differences between the HI properties of luminous and low-luminosity early-type galaxies. In luminous early-type galaxies the HI is often irregularly di…
