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 Nuclei of Late-type Spiral Galaxies
T. Boeker, C. -J. Walcher, H. -W. Rix +8
We summarize some recent results from our observational campaign to study the central regions of spiral galaxies of late Hubble type (Scd - Sm). These disk-dominated, bulgeless gal…
Molecular outflow in the composite galaxy NGC6764
Stephane Leon, Andreas Eckart, Seppo Laine +1
NGC 6764 is a composite galaxy exhibiting central activity (LINER) and recent massive star formation (Wolf-Rayet galaxy). We report new high-resolution interferometric data of the…
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…
