Messier 104, NGC 4594, also known as the Sombrero Galaxy, has been extensively studied, especially its structure and stellar halo. Its abundance of globular clusters has given rise to many theories and much speculation (Ford H. C. et al…

In recent years, Circumnuclear Star Forming Regions (CNSFRs) have been studied in different frequencies and telescopes, diverse studies about connection between nuclear activity and star formation in the CNSFRs were doing using optical…

We present high angular and velocity resolution two-dimensional kinematic observations in the spectral lines of H alpha and CO J=1-0 of the circumnuclear starburst region in the barred spiral galaxy M100, and compare them with kinematics…

Nonbarred ringed galaxies are relatively normal galaxies showing bright rings of star formation in spite of lacking a strong bar. This morphology is interesting because it is generally accepted that a typical ring forms when material…

Results of optical and NIR spectral and photometric observations of a sample of candidate double-barred galaxies are presented. Velocity fields and velocity dispersion maps of stars and ionized gas, continuum and emission-line images were…

We present new interferometric observations of the 12CO(1-0), 12CO(2-1) and HCN (1-0) molecular line emission in NGC 3227 obtained with the IRAM Plateau de Bure interferometer (PdBI). We achieved an unprecedented angular resolution in the…

We present high resolution mid-infrared (mid-IR; 11.7 and 17.65 micron) maps of the central 400 pc region of the starburst galaxy M82. Seven star forming clusters are identified which together provide ~ 15% of the total mid-IR luminosity of…

NGC7217 is an unbarred early-type spiral galaxy having a multi-segment exponential light profile and a system of starforming rings of the unknown origin; it also possesses a circumnuclear gaseous polar disc. We analysed new long slit…

We present multi-wavelength (interferometer and single-dish CO J=1-0, Halpha, broadband optical and near-infrared) observations of the classic barred spiral NGC 5383. We compare the observed central gas and dust morphology to the…

We present Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array observations of a radio-loud and millimeter-bright galaxy at z=2.6. Gravitational lensing by a foreground galaxy at z~0.2 provides access to physical scales of approximately 360 pc,…

We report the detection of circular polarization in the compact radio jet of the nearby spiral galaxy M81 (M81*). The observations were made with the Very Large Array at 4.8 and 8.4 GHz and circular polarization was detected at both…

We have made observations of the \ion{H}{1} in the southern ringed barred spiral galaxies NGC~1433 and NGC~6300 with the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA), the main goal being to test the resonance theory for the origin of these…

A panchromatic view of the star forming ring and feeding process in the central kpc of the galaxy NGC 1097 is presented. The assembled IR to UV images at $\sim$10 pc resolution allow us to characterise the population of circa 250 clusters…

We present CO(1-0) and CO(2-1) maps of the LINER galaxy NGC7217, obtained with the IRAM interferometer, at 2.4"x1.9" and 1.2"x0.8" resolution respectively. The nuclear ring (at r=12"=0.8kpc) dominates the CO maps, and has a remarkable sharp…

We present near-infrared (H- and K-band) integral-field observations of the circumnuclear star formation rings in five nearby spiral galaxies. The data, obtained at the Very Large Telescope with the SINFONI spectrograph, are used to…

We present observations of newly discovered 24 micron circumstellar structures detected with the Multiband Imaging Photometer for Spitzer (MIPS) around three evolved stars in the Cygnus-X star forming region. One of the objects, BD+43 3710,…

The merger remnant NGC 34 is a local luminous infrared galaxy (LIRG) hosting a nuclear starburst and a hard X-ray source associated with a putative, obscured Seyfert~2 nucleus. In this work, we use adaptive optics assisted near infrared…

New optical and NIR K-band images of the inner 3 kpc region of the nearby Virgo spiral M100 (NGC 4321) display remarkable morphological changes with wavelength. While in the optical the light is dominated by a circumnuclear zone of enhanced…

Aperture synthesis observations of CO(J=1-0) emission and near-infrared broad-band photometry of the non-barred Seyfert galaxy NGC 5033 (D = 18.7 Mpc) were performed. Our 3".9 x 3".6 resolution CO observations reveal a perturbed…

We present multi-frequency radio continuum as well as HI observations of the composite galaxy NGC6764, which has a young, circumnuclear starburst and also harbours an active galactic nucleus (AGN). These observations have been made at a…
