Ionising stellar populations in circumnuclear star forming regions

Astrophysics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We present a study of the stellar populations and gas physical conditions in Circumnuclear Star Forming Regions (CNSFRs) based on spectrophotometric data, including the 7000 angstroms to 1 micron spectral range, which is of great interest to the whole diagnostic of the ionized gas. The properties of CNSFRs as a class are inferred from a comparison with those of other star forming emission-line objects: low excitation disc HII regions and HII galaxies.
