FM 047-02: a collisional pair of galaxies with a ring
M. Faundez-Abans, M. de Oliveira-Abans, A. C. Krabbe +3
Aims. We investigate the nature of the galaxy pair FM 047-02, which has been proposed as an archetype of the Solitaire types of peculiar (collisional) ring galaxies. Methods. The s…
Imagery and long-slit spectroscopy of the Polar-Ring Galaxy AM2020-504
P. Freitas-Lemes, I. Rodrigues, M. Faúndez-Abans +2
Interactions between galaxies are very common. There are special kinds of interactions that produce systems called Polar Ring Galaxies (PRGs), composed by a lenticular, elliptical,…
A study of the remarkable galaxy system AM 546-324 (the core of Abell S0546)
M. Faúndez-Abans, A. C. Krabbe, M. Oliveira-Abans +4
We report first results of an investigation of the tidally disturbed galaxy system AM\,546-324, whose two principal galaxies 2MFGC 04711 and AM\,0546-324 (NED02) were previously cl…
UGC 7388: a galaxy with two tidal loops
M. Faundez-Abans, V. P. Reshetnikov, M. de Oliveira-Abans +1
We present the results of spectroscopic and morphological studies of the galaxy UGC7388 with the 8.1-m Gemini North telescope. Judging by its observed characteristics, UGC7388 is a…
Slit Observations and Empirical Calculations for HII Regions
I. F. Fernandes, R. Gruenwald, S. M. Viegas
When analysing HII regions, a possible source of systematic error on empirically derived physical quantities is the limited size of the slit used for the observations. A grid of ph…
Massive Star Populations in Wolf-Rayet Galaxies
I. F. Fernandes, R. de Carvalho, T. Contini +1
We analyze longslit spectral observations of fourteen Wolf-Rayet galaxies from the sample of Schaerer, Contini & Pindao (1999). All 14 galaxies show broad Wolf-Rayet emission in th…
