We present spatially resolved Spitzer Space Telescope imaging of the supergiant shell region of the M81 group dwarf galaxy IC 2574 obtained as part of the Spitzer Infrared Nearby Galaxies Survey. This region harbors one of the best nearby examples of a kinematically distinct H I shell, with an associated remnant stellar cluster; the shell is initiating sequential star formation as it interacts with the surrounding interstellar medium. ...

... Absorption by neutral atomic hydrogen in luminous spiral galaxies provides an excellent tool to study the gas kinematics in their nuclear regions. ... Since the absorption lines are intrinsically narrow as a result of the low temperatures of the optically thick gas, typically 30 to 150 K (Dickey, Salpeter & Terzian 1979), it is surprising that numerous galaxies show H I absorption over a broad range of velocities (a few hundred kms -1 ); see e.g., Fig. ... range . ...

NGC 5128 is the closest example of a giant early type (elliptical or S0) galaxy. Although often dubbed as a peculiar elliptical galaxy since it has a dust lane with recent star formation and an active galactic nucleus, the majority of early type galaxies have similar structures as revealed by recent surveys. ...

... Massive stars, having 10-150 masses of the Sun, with metallicities Z tens to hundreds times less than that of the Sun (Zo), are the main regulators of the galaxy formation and evolution processes in the early Universe. ... In this galaxy, using the 6 m BTA telescope, a new massive blue variable star with high luminosity (>=10 5 Sun's luminocities in visible light) was found. As far as its properties are concerned, this star falls into an LBV (Luminous Blue Variable) class of stars. ...

In Fig. 4 emission-line galaxies from the HSS sample are plotted in comparison with some BCGs from the SBS (Izotov et al. [ 1994 ], [ 1997b ]; Thuan et al.

We tentatively classify it as a possible LINER (low-ionization nuclear emission-line region galaxies; Heckman [ 1980 ]). ... emission lines. ...

Our understanding of star formation in galaxies is facilitated by observations, at multiple wavelengths, of emission which traces stellar populations. ... Using optical integral field spectroscopy, my work aims to better understand the local SFR calibrations, which use H-alpha and radio continuum emission, when applied to different regions of a galaxy, as well as to galaxies as a whole. ...
