Hubble Space Telescope Observations of NGC 6240: a Case Study of an Ultra-Luminous Infrared Galaxy with Obscured Activity
Joris Gerssen, Roeland P. van der Marel, David Axon +3
We present results from an HST study of the morphology and kinematics of NGC 6240. This merging galaxy with a double nucleus is one of the nearest and best-studied ultraluminous in…
A HST Census of Nuclear Star Clusters in Late-Type Spiral Galaxies: II. Cluster Sizes and Structural Parameter Correlations
T. Boeker, M. Sarzi, D. E. McLaughlin +4
We investigate the structural properties of nuclear star clusters in late-type spiral galaxies. More specifically, we fit analytical models to HST images of 39 nuclear clusters in…
Observational Constraints on Disk Heating as a Function of Hubble Type
Kristen L. Shapiro, Joris Gerssen, Roeland P. van der Marel
Current understanding of the secular evolution of galactic disks suggests that this process is dominated by two or more heating mechanisms, which increase the random motions of sta…
STIS spectroscopy of the emission line gas in the nuclei of nearby FR-I galaxies
Jacob Noel-Storr, Stefi A. Baum, Gijs Verdoes Kleijn +4
We present the results of the analysis of a set of medium resolution spectra, obtained by the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph on board the Hubble Space Telescope, of the emiss…
