Magnetic fields are a good tracer for gas compression by shock waves, which can be caused by interaction of star-formation driven outflows from individual star formation sites as described in the chimney model. We study the magnetic field…
Here we present new optical data from the Hubble Space Telescope of the NGC 253 central region, which reveal numerous discrete sources in a ring--like structure. This is combined with data at infrared, millimeter, radio and X-ray…
We present observations of a massive star cluster near the nuclear region of the nearby starburst galaxy NGC 253. The peak of near-infrared emission, which is spatially separated by 4" from the kinematic center of the galaxy, is coincident…
We present radio continuum polarimetry observations of the nearby edge-on galaxy NGC 253 which possesses a very bright radio halo. Using the vertical synchrotron emission profiles and the lifetimes of cosmic-ray electrons, we determined the…
Archival VLA data has been used to produce arcsecond-resolution 6- and 20-cm images of the region surrounding the nuclear 200-pc (~15") starburst in NGC 253. Twenty-two discrete sources stronger than 0.4 mJy have been detected within ~2 kpc…
We observed Brackett $\alpha$ 4.05$\mu$m emission towards the supernebula in NGC 5253 with NIRSPEC on Keck II in adaptive optics mode, NIRSPAO, to probe feedback from its exciting embedded super star cluster (SSC). NIRSPEC's Slit-Viewing…
We present our early results of the mapping of the nucleus of the starburst galaxy NGC 253 and its immediate surroundings using the Infrared Spectrograph onboard the Spitzer Space Telescope. The map is centered on the nucleus of the galaxy…
We provide an account of the possible acceleration of iron nuclei up to energies $\sim300$ EeV in the nearby, metally-rich starburst galaxy NGC 253. It is suggested that particles can escape from the nuclear region with energies of…
Longslit spectra of the Seyfert galaxy NGC 4151 from the UV to near infrared have been obtained with STIS to study the kinematics and physical conditions in the NLR. The kinematics show evidence for three components, a low velocity system…
[abridged] We used J and Ks band images acquired with the VISTA telescope as part of the science verification to quantify the structures in the stellar disk of the barred Sc galaxy NGC253. Moving outward from the galaxy center, we find a…
We have obtained long-slit spectra of NGC 253 in the J, H, K, and N bands, broadband images in the J, H, and Ks bands, narrowband images centered at the wavelengths of BrGamma and H2(1,0)S(1), and imaging spectroscopy centered on…
We report the first simultaneous zJHK spectroscopy on the archetypical Seyfert 2 Galaxy NGC 1068 covering the wavelength region 0.9 to 2.4 micron. The slit, aligned in the NS direction and centred in the optical nucleus, maps a region 300…
We present new near-IR long slit spectroscopic data obtained with ISAAC on VLT/ANTU (ESO/Paranal) of the central 4''x 4'' region surrounding the central engine of NGC1068 . Bracket Gamma (Bg) and H2 emission line maps and line profile grids…
We present slitless spectra of the Narrow Line Region (NLR) in NGC4151 from the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) on HST, and investigate the kinematics and physical conditions of the emission line clouds in this region. Using…
We present new HST ACS medium- and narrow-band images and long-slit, optical (4000 - 7200A) spectra obtained using the Isaac Newton Telescope (INT) on La Palma, of the merging system Mrk273. The HST observations sample the [OIII]4959,5007…
We present results from three nearly simultaneous NuSTAR and Chandra monitoring observations between 2012 Sep 2 and 2012 Nov 16 of local star-forming galaxy NGC 253. The 3-40 keV NuSTAR intensity of the inner 20 arcsec (~400 pc) nuclear…
We have determined the radial velocities of the [O III] emitting gas in the inner narrow-line region (NLR) of the Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 1068, along a slit at position angle of 202 degrees, from STIS observations at a spatial resolution of…
Near-infrared Fabry-Perot imaging has revealed H2 emission extended to about 130 pc from the disk of NGC 253. It is closely related to the hot plasma observed in soft X-rays: filamentary H2 features are found at the edges of the hot plasma.…
To study the role of the feedback from the Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs) in the evolution of its host galaxy, we need observational constraints on 100 pc scales. We used the Gemini Near Infrared Integral Field Spectrograph in the J and K…
We present a near-infrared study of the Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC\,6300, based on subarcsecond images and long slit spectroscopy obtained with Flamingos-2 at Gemini South. We have found that the peak of the nuclear continuum emission in the…
