We have studied the core morphology of the ultraluminous infrared galaxy Mrk 273 by combining a high-resolution adaptive optics near-infrared image with an optical image from the Hubble Space Telescope and interferometric radio continuum data, all at spatial resolutions of 150 mas or better. The near-infrared image reveals that the nucleus has two

We present high spectral and spatial resolution spectroscopy of the nuclear starburst region of the galaxy NGC 253. Two slit positions, matching the major and minor axes on the galaxy, have been taken. These cover H-alpha and (N II) lines as well as the (S II) doublet. The attained resolution, together with good seeing conditions, have allowed the

In this Letter, we introduce a technique for finding resonance radii in a disk galaxy. We use a two-dimensional velocity field in Hα emission obtained with Fabry-Perot interferometry, derive the classical rotation curve, and subtract it off, leaving a residual velocity map. As the streaming motions should reverse sign at corotation, we detect these

The theory of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) waves in solar coronal slabs in a zero- β configuration and for parallel propagation of waves does not allow the existence of surface waves. When oblique propagation of perturbations is considered, both surface and body waves are able to propagate. When the perpendicular wavenumber is larger than a certain

We have digitally co-added APM scans of 13 Kodak TechPan films of the SE region of the Virgo cluster of galaxies. The ~ 6.2degr x 6.2degr field of the R-band films combined with the resolution of ~ 2 arcsec pixel(-1) results in data file sizes of about 222 MBytes. The 13 scanned films have been aligned, co-added, corrected for vignetting effects
