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...
Star Formation Feedback for Compact Stellar Systems
We summarize recent theoretical results dealing with the formation of massive stellar systems. The key premise is the high stellar density which leads to a very...
Star Formation Histories from Spectra: What Can We Believe?
To determine the star formation histories of dwarf galaxies we use fossil methods. Compared to the color-magnitude diagrams analyzes, which are well tested and...
Star Formation Histories of Early-Type Dwarf Galaxies in the Fornax Cluster
Given their low surface brightness, it is hard to determine high-quality spectra of dwarf galaxies outside the Local Group, where it is not possible to study...
Star formation history for the starburst dwarf galaxy in the Local Group, IC 10
IC 10 as a starburst dwarf galaxy in the Local Group (LG) has a large population of newly formed stars that are massive and intrinsically very bright in...
