Nuclear Rings in Galaxies---A Kinematic Perspective
Lisa M. Mazzuca, Robert A. Swaters, Johan H. Knapen +1
We combine DensePak integral field unit and TAURUS Fabry-Perot observations of 13 nuclear rings to show an interconnection between the kinematic properties of the rings and their r…
A Connection between Star Formation in Nuclear Rings and their Host Galaxies
Lisa M. Mazzuca, Johan H. Knapen, Sylvain Veilleux +1
We present results from a photometric H-alpha survey of 22 nuclear rings, aiming to provide insight into their star formation properties, including age distribution, dynamical time…
Star formation and stellar populations across nuclear rings in galaxies
M. Sarzi, E. L. Allard, J. H. Knapen +1
(Abridged) We present a study of the optical spectra of a sample of eight star-forming nuclear rings and the nuclei of their host galaxies. The spectra were obtained with the ISIS…
Star formation in the central regions of galaxies
J. H. Knapen, E. L. Allard, L. M. Mazzuca +2
Massive star formation in the central regions of spiral galaxies plays an important role in the dynamical and secular evolution of their hosts. Here, we summarise a number of recen…
Minor Merger Origin for the Circumnuclear Starburst in NGC 7742
L. M. Mazzuca, M. Sarzi, J. H. Knapen +2
We present an emission-line diagnostic analysis of integral-field spectroscopic observations that cover the central kiloparsec of NGC 7742. This Sa galaxy hosts a spectacular nucle…
Massive star formation in the central regions of spiral galaxies
J. H. Knapen, L. M. Mazzuca, T. Boeker +4
Context: The morphology of massive star formation in the central regions of galaxies is an important tracer of the dynamical processes that govern the evolution of disk, bulge, and…
