Profile comparison of the 6-9 m polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon bands in starburst-dominated galaxies

Carla M. Canelo, Dinalva A. Sales, Amâncio C. S. Friaça +2

ARRAKIS: Atlas of Resonance Rings As Known In the S4G

S. Comerón, H. Salo, E. Laurikainen +19

X-ray nuclear activity in S4G barred galaxies: No link between bar strength and co-occurrent supermassive black hole fueling

Mauricio Cisternas, Dimitri Gadotti, Johan H. Knapen +23

Stellar bars can lead to gas inflow toward the center of a galaxy and stimulate nuclear star formation. However, there is no compelling evidence on whether they also feed a central…
