TL;DR: In this article, the authors used far ultraviolet to far infrared images of the nearby galaxy NGC5194, from Spitzer, GALEX, Hubble Space Telescope and ground-based data, to investigate local and global star formation, and the impact of dust extinction in HII-emitting knots.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Nuclear and Circum-nuclear Stellar Population in Seyfert 2 Galaxies: Implications for the Starburst-AGN Connection
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reported the results of a spectroscopic investigation of a sample of 20 of the brightest type 2 Seyfert nuclei and concluded that the blue and near-UV light of over half of the sample is dominated by young and/or intermediate age stars.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lyman alpha emission in starbursts: implications for galaxies at high redshift
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented the results of a high-resolution UV 2-D spectroscopic survey of star forming galaxies observed with HST-STIS and detected extended Lyman alpha emission due to scattering in gaseous halos.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dust and Recent Star Formation in the Core of NGC5253
Daniela Calzetti,Gerhardt R. Meurer,Ralph C. Bohlin,Donald R. Garnett,Anne L. Kinney,Claus Leitherer,Thaisa Storchi-Bergmann +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the properties of the dust distribution and the recent star formation history of this metal-poor dwarf galaxy were derived using the HST WFPC2 images of NGC5253.
