    A slow lopsided bar in the interacting dwarf galaxy IC 3167
    We present surface photometry and stellar kinematics of IC 3167, a dwarf galaxy hosting a lopsided weak bar and infalling into the Virgo cluster. We measured...

    A spectral diagnostic for density-bounded HII regions
    The existence of density-bounded HII regions in spiral galaxies is supported by means of a spectral indicator based on the intensity of the [OI]λ6300 forbidden...

    A Spectral Diagnostic for Density-Bounded HII Regions
    Our spectral diagnostic based on the intensity of the [OI]λ6300Å line indicates that many observed HII regions are indeed density-bounded. The estimated...
