Simultaneous modeling of the line and continuum emission from the nuclear region of the Circinus galaxy is presented. Composite models that include the combined effect of shocks and photoionization from the active center and from the circumnuclear star-forming region are considered. The effects of dust reradiation, bremsstrahlung from the gas, and

We show that kinematically peculiar cores may be generated in stellar spiral-spiral mergers. Kinematic segregation appears as the central bulges transport orbital angular momentum inward to the center of the remnant, while the outer parts keep the spin signature of the precursor disks. The peculiar core is composed mostly of bulge material, and its

La tesis consiste en un trabajo bien completo, empezando de una parte puramente observacional, donde imágenes de galaxias obtenidas por el tensinando en el Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos se reducen y se presentan de forma fotométrica calibrada. Después el autor aplica unas técnicas cuya base estaba desarrollada por colegas, pero que nunca

The results of Hα photometry of a sample of early-type galaxies belonging to nearby compact groups are presented. Over 75% of the galaxies in the sample were detected in Hα, a result that we have interpreted as proof of the presence of a warm interstellar medium within them. Comparing the Hα luminosities of the galaxies in our sample with those of
