Descripción
The present study estimates the efficiency ratio for massive star formation between the arms and the interarm disks of three grand design spirals. The estimate is based on H-alpha mapping observations of the H II regions in the galaxies. It is found that this efficiency ratio is 10 or more in the zones between the Lindblad resonances and the radius which is inferred to be corotation, dropping to values close to unity at these three resonance radii. These results point to a dominant influence of resonance structure in stimulating star formation in grand design spirals.

    Study of basaltic asteroids through their phase curves
    Introduction Classified as type-V, the basaltic asteroids of the Main Belt (MB), for the most part, are connected to Vesta's dynamic family. However, since the discovery of the V-type asteroid (1459) Magnya in the outer MB, several new asteroids have been found in different regions, including V-types from inner regions not belonging to the Vesta
