R. M. González Delgado, V. Muñoz Marin, E. Pérez, H. Schmitt, R. Cid Fernandes

摘要:

核星团是旋涡星系和星暴星系中的一种常见现象,它们可能是星系中心区域恒星形成过程的自然结果。一些塞弗特2星系的HST紫外成像已经解决了塞弗特2的核星暴,揭示了星团作为扩展发射的主要组成部分。然而,我们不知道星团是否总是与所有类型的核活动有关。我们目前的NUV和光学图像提供的HST找出的作用,星团发挥不同类型的活动星系核(塞弗茨和LLAGN)。此外,这些图像,我们研究的环核尘埃形态作为一个探针的环核环境的活动星系核。在这里,我们提出了一个总结的第一个结果获得的样本的塞弗茨和LLAGN星系。

英文摘要:

Nuclear stellar clusters are a common phenomenon in spirals and in starbursts galaxies, and they may be a natural consequence of the star formation processes in the central regions of galaxies. HST UV imaging of a few Seyfert 2 galaxies have resolved nuclear starbursts in Seyfert 2 revealing stellar clusters as the main building blocks of the extended emission. However, we do not know whether stellar clusters are always associated with all types of nuclear activity. We present NUV and optical images provided by HST to find out the role that stellar clusters play in different types of AGNs (Seyferts and LLAGNs). Also with these images, we study the circumnuclear dust morphology as a probe of the circumnuclear environment of AGNs. Here we present a summary of the the first results obtained for the sample of Seyferts and LLAGN galaxies.
