The distribution of star formation in galactic bars
Stellar bars are known to gradually funnel gas to the central parts of disk galaxies. But it remains a matter of debate why the distribution of ionized gas along bars and in the circumnuclear regions varies among galaxies.We investigate the spatial distribution of star formation (SF) within bars of nearby low-inclination disk galaxies (i < 65 deg)
