    Gradients of excitation in the nuclei of starburst galaxies
    The use of long-slit spectroscopy at high spectral and spatial resolution has made it possible to measure gradients of gaseous excitation and also velocity...

    Gravity Binding and Pressure Bounding of Hii regions and Molecular Clouds in Interacting Galaxies
    We have observed 3 pairs of interacting galaxies (the Antennae, Arp 236, and NGC 1614) using the Fabry-Perot interferometer GHαFaS (Galaxy Hα Fabry-Perot system...

    H II region statistics in spirals
    High-resolution maps of the spiral galaxies NGC 3992 and NGC 4321, obtained with the Taurus camera at the 4.2-m William Herschel Telescope are analyzed. The...

    H II Regions Within a Compact High Velocity Cloud. A Nearly Starless Dwarf Galaxy?
    Within the SECCO survey we identified a candidate stellar counterpart to the Ultra Compact High Velocity Cloud (UCHVC) HVC274.68+74.70-123 that was suggested by...

    H II regions, morphology and star formation in disc galaxies.
    The distribution and morphology of H II regions in the discs of spirals has been examined in great detail for a set of objects imaged in Hα. In those with...

    HerMES HFLS3: A dust-obscured massive maximum-starburst galaxy at a redshift of 6.34
    How do the first galaxies form and evolve? Optical and near-infrared deep surveys are now finding galaxies at very high redshifts. However, they are typically...

    HerMES: Far infrared properties of known AGN in the HerMES fields
    Nuclear and starburst activity are known to often occur concomitantly. Herschel-SPIRE provides sampling of the far-infrared (FIR) spectral energy distributions...

    HerMES: The Far-infrared Emission from Dust-obscured Galaxies
    Dust-obscured galaxies (DOGs) are an ultraviolet-faint, infrared-bright galaxy population that reside at z ~ 2 and are believed to be in a phase of dusty star...
