We present new HST I-band images of a sample of 77 nearby, late-type spiral galaxies with low inclination. The main purpose of this catalog is to study the frequency and properties of nuclear star clusters. In 59 galaxies of our sample, we…
In years to come, we shall see substantial progress in our understanding of nuclear structure - a rich and many-faceted field. An important element in this task will be to extend the study of nuclei into new domains. The journey to 'the…
Our present understanding of the structure of the Hoyle state in $^{12}$C and other near-threshold states in $\alpha$-conjugate nuclei is reviewed in the framework of the $\alpha$-condensate model. The $^{12}$C Hoyle state, in particular,…
