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

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.
