Descripción
High-resolution NIR and optical images are used to constrain a dynamical
model of the circumnuclear star forming (SF) region in the barred galaxy
M100 (=NGC 4321). Subarcsecond resolution allowed us to distinguish
important morphological details which are easily misinterpreted when
using images at lower resolution. Small leading arms observed in our
K-band image of the nuclear region are reproduced in the gas flow in our
model, and lead us to believe that part of the K light comes from young
stars, which trace the gas flow.
