Description
Superbubbles and large scale expansion in galaxies are important
indicators of activity in galaxies: they are formed in starbursts and
around active nuclei. Superbubbles can be used to give information about
the star-forming region which produced them. We present in-depth results
of our study of kinematically detected superbubbles using a method based
on Fabry-Perot spectroscopy, which allows us to map regions of expansion
across the entire disk of a galaxy. Three objects have been selected for
this poster based on the interest of the results they show: two
interacting galaxies, the Antennae and Arp270, at different stages of
galaxy interaction, and the more isolated galaxy M83. We present the
kinematic expansion maps, as well as a census of detected superbubbles
and a dynamical study of their properties.
