Description
The peculiar giant extragalactic HII region NGC 588 has been observed with the TAURUS Fabry-Perot Spectrograph at the William Hershell Telescope of the Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos. Velocity maps at the seeing limit were obtained in the lines of Hα and [OIII]lambda 5007. We have studied the kinematics of the gas and its relation with the planetary-like morphology of the gas, and discuss the possible mechanisms that may have taken part on its formation. The maps of the velocity dispersion of the ionized gas, together with the exam the emission line profiles, allow us to study the effect of the stellar winds of the massive stars that ionize the object on the ionized gas.

    The role of AGN feedback on the evolution of dwarf galaxies from cosmological simulations: SMBHs suppress star formation in low-mass galaxies
    Recent observational studies suggest that feedback from active galactic nuclei (AGNs) may play an important role in the formation and evolution of low-mass dwarf galaxies, an issue that has received little attention from a theoretical perspective. We investigate this using two sets of 12 cosmological magneto-hydrodynamical simulations of the

    Using gas kinematics to measure resonant structures in disc galaxies: the interaction of M51 with NGC 5195
    Interstellar gas offers advantages when quantifying the structure of the resonances in disc galaxies. The gas is concentrated close to the disc mid-plane, making it easier to determine its in-plane velocity components, and it offers sharp emission lines for good velocity resolution. These properties are shared by atomic, molecular, and ionized gas

    Ultra-deep imaging of NGC1052-DF2 and NGC1052-DF4 to unravel their origins
    A number of scenarios have been proposed to explain the low velocity dispersion (and hence possible absence of dark matter) of the low surface brightness galaxies NGC1052-DF2 and NGC1052-DF4. Most of the proposed mechanisms are based on the removal of dark matter via the interaction of these galaxies with other objects. A common feature of these
