Star cluster catalogues for the LEGUS dwarf galaxies
We present the star cluster catalogues for 17 dwarf and irregular galaxies in the HST Treasury Program `Legacy ExtraGalactic UV Survey' (LEGUS). Cluster...
Star cluster versus field star formation in the nucleus of the prototype starburst galaxy M 82
We analyse high-resolution Hubble Space Telescope/Advanced Camera for Surveys imaging of the nuclear starburst region of M 82, obtained as part of the Hubble...
Star formation and black hole accretion activity in rich local clusters of galaxies
Context. We present a study of star formation and central black hole accretion activity of galaxies that are hosted in the two nearby (z ~ 0.2) rich galaxy...
Star formation and gas in the minor merger UGC 10214
Minor mergers play a crucial role in galaxy evolution. UGC 10214 (the Tadpole galaxy) is a prime example of this process in which a dwarf galaxy has interacted...
Star formation and stellar populations across nuclear rings in galaxies
We present a study of the optical spectra of a sample of eight star-forming nuclear rings and the nuclei of their host galaxies. The spectra were obtained with...
Star formation enhancement characteristics in interacting galaxies
We have observed 12 interacting galaxies using the Fabry-Perot interferometer GHαFaS (Galaxy Hα Fabry-Perot system) on the 4.2m William Herschel Telescope (La...
Star Formation Feedback for Compact Stellar Systems
We summarize recent theoretical results dealing with the formation of massive stellar systems. The key premise is the high stellar density which leads to a very...
Star formation histories in H II galaxies. I. Optical and radio observations.
In this paper we report CCD photometry in broad band B, R, and I colors, as well as in the Hα, for a sample of eight HII galaxies with strong radio emission. In...
