Description
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) on the 4.2m William Herschel Telescope
(WHT) at the Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos, La Palma. We have
extracted the physical properties (sizes, Hα luminosity and
velocity dispersion) of Hii regions. We have combined also these
observations with ALMA archival observations of these interacting
galaxies, finding that there is a set of brighter and denser star
forming regions. We have been able to compare these properties with
those of two SMGs at redshift ~ 2.
