Propagating star formation in a collisional ring galaxy Arp10 is investigated by a complex approach, which includes the broad- and narrow-band photometry, long- slit spectroscopy, and scanning Fabry-Perot spectroscopy. The ionized gas…
We conduct a photometric study of star clusters (or knots) in the collisional ring galaxy (CRG) Arp 147 to trace the star formation history across its empty ring. Using HST F450W, F606W and F814W images, we find that Arp 147 hosts 211 knots…
Collisional ring galaxies are produced by the collision of a disk galaxy with a compact galaxy plunging through the disk, forming a ring-shaped expanding density wave, triggering star formation at its wake. The wave expansion is expected to…
Arp194 is a system of recently collided galaxies, where the southern galaxy (S) passed through the gaseous disc of the northern galaxy (N) which in turn consists of two close components. This system is of special interest due to the…
We use long-slit spectra obtained with the 6-m telescope BTA (Russian Academy of Sciences) to investigate the history of star formation in the peculiar ring galaxy Arp 10. The radial distributions of quasi-Lick spectral indices are…
We present Spitzer infrared imaging of the peculiar galaxy pair Arp 107, and compare with an optical H-alpha map and a numerical model of the interaction. The [3.6 micron] - [4.5 micron] colors of clumps in the galaxy do not vary around the…
Collisional ring galaxies are a rare class of interacting systems, making up only ~0.01% of galaxies in the local Universe. Their formation is typically attributed to a head-on collision of a massive galaxy with a compact satellite…
We model the formation of Auriga's Wheel - a recently discovered collisional ring galaxy. Auriga's Wheel has a number of interesting features including a bridge of stars linking the neighbouring elliptical to the ring galaxy, and evidence…
The Chandra X-Ray Observatory was used to image the collisional ring galaxy Arp 147 for 42 ks. We detect 9 X-ray sources with luminosities in the range of 1.4 - 7 x 10^{39} ergs/sec in or near the blue knots of star formation associated…
The `Eagle' galaxy at a redshift of 0.77 is studied with the Oxford Short Wavelength Integral Field Spectrograph (SWIFT) and multi-wavelength data from the All-wavelength Extended Groth strip International Survey (AEGIS). It was chosen from…
We present the results from our program to determine the evolution of the galaxy interaction/merger rate with redshift using the unique star-forming characteristics of collisional ring galaxies. We have identified 25 distant collisional…
We present images of the peculiar galaxy Arp~10 which reveal two rings of concurrent star formation. Apart from a bright ring visible on early photographs of the system, an even brighter inner ring of \ion{H}{2} regions is found within the…
We present a detailed analysis of multi-wavelength HST/WFC3 imaging and Keck/OSIRIS near-IR AO-assisted integral field spectroscopy for a highly magnified lensed galaxy at z=1.70. This young starburst is representative of UV-selected…
RiGs are the result of the impact between two galaxies, with one of them passing close to the centre of the other, piercing its gaseous and stellar disc. In this framework, the impact generates a shock wave front that propagates within the…
We investigate Arp 295, a pair of interacting spirals at z=0.023. We measure scalelengths 5.24 kpc for Arp 295a and 2.52 kpc for 295b. There is a much smaller Im galaxy associated with the larger spiral. Arp 295b is asymmetric with the disk…
We present results of Fabry-Perot and long-slit spectroscopy of the peculiar galaxy Arp 10. The ionized gas velocity field shows evidence for significant radial motions in both outer and inner galactic rings. Long-slit spectroscopy reveals…
In the local (redshift z~0) Universe, collisional ring galaxies make up only ~0.01% of galaxies and are formed by head-on galactic collisions that trigger radially propagating density waves. These striking systems provide key snapshots for…
We report the discovery of a 20-kpc-sized H{\alpha} emission in SDSS J083803.68+540642.0, a ringed dwarf galaxy (M$_V$ = -17.89 mag) hosting an accreting intermediate-mass black hole at z=0.02957. Analysis of the HST images indicates that…
The integrated properties of nuclear rings are correlated with their host galaxy's secular evolution and its dynamics, as well as with the formation and evolution of the ring's star cluster population(s). Here we present a new method to…
We have imaged the kpc scale distribution of 12CO(J=1-0) emission in the ring galaxy Arp 143 (NGC 2444/5) using the OVRO millimeter array. We find two giant molecular complexes in the ring component (NGC 2445) and a bright central source.…
