Star Formation and Environment in Compact Groups of Galaxies
H &alpha luminosities are presented in order to study the Star Formation Rates (SFRs) of a sample of galaxies in compact groups from Hickson's (1982) catalogue...
Star Formation and Mergers in Nearby Compact Groups of Galaxies
We have performed a study of the rate of recent star formation for a sample of nearby compact groups of galaxies which have been taken from the compilation of...
We present initial results from a survey of nearby AGN using the near infrared adaptive optics integral field spectrograph SINFONI. These data enable us to...
We present CO J = 1-> observations of the S0 galaxy NGC 404 obtained using the Nobeyama Millimeter Array. The spatial and velocity resolutions are 4' ' and 5 km...
At the edge of galaxies, in the lowest surface brightness regimes, lies the boundary where gas can collapse to form new stars. These regions remain largely...
Star formation enhancement characteristics in interacting galaxies
We have observed 12 interacting galaxies using the Fabry-Perot interferometer GHαFaS (Galaxy Hα Fabry-Perot system) on the 4.2m William Herschel Telescope (La...
