The Circumnuclear Region in NGC 4321
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 30 March 2016
Abstract
We present results from a recent study of the inner 1 kpc zone of the weakly barred spiral galaxy NGC 4321 (M100), which reveals a circumnuclear starburst, organized in a pair of tightly-wound spiral arms. Combining high-resolution imaging in the optical and near-IR with a detailed dynamical model, we show that the morphology of this region can be explained by a resonance interaction between the disk and the stellar bar and its effects on the gas.
