... Scaling relations of galaxies: . ... 2007) . ... This research is now being extended to other clusters such as Hydra and Centaurus, by Ingo Misgeld . ... 2007 , Misgeld et al. 2008 and 2009 ) support a picture where the scaling relations of dwarf galaxies are shaped more by internal than external agents, given that colour-magnitude and magnitude-surface brightness relations agree quite well between the low-density Local Group environment and dense clusters like Fornax and Hydra. Misgeld et al. ...

... Most of the spirals discussed in the following are well-known starburst galaxies (M 82, NGC 253, etc.) In addition to their nuclear activity, which makes them so popular, the selected galaxies have several other phenomena in common, such as bars, gas outflow, and possibly nuclear rings. ... I will show that the gas dynamics in the outer and inner parts of these galaxies are strongly related to their starburst activity. ... NGC 253 . ...

K-band Arcetri Obscured Supernova Search . What is the KAOSS Project? W hat is the KAOSS Project? Some recent surveys aimed at detecting Supernovae (SNe) in the optical have found that starburst galaxies do not show evidence for an enhanced SN rate, with respect to quiescent galaxies (Richmond et al. ... A similar result was obtained by Navasardyan et al. (2001) who looked for SNe in interacting galaxies, finding no evidence for correlations between SN rate and galaxy properties. ...

A comparative study of type I and type II supernovae . ... Sternberg State Astronomical Institute, Moscow, U.S.S.R. (Received 26 November, 1985) . ... No significant difference between SNe I and SNe II has been found in their radial distribution and frequency of outbursts in spiral galaxies. ... The radial distribution of type Ia SNe in spiral galaxies is only slightly steeper than the one for SNe II, while SNe Ib/c are more concentrated towards the central regions. ...

We compare atomic gas, molecular gas, and the recent star formation rate (SFR) inferred from HЮБ in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). ... This allows us to disentangle conversion factor effects from the impact of metallicity on the formation and star formation efficiency of molecular gas. ... At a fixed total gas surface density the SMC has a 5-10 times lower molecular gas fraction (and star formation rate) than large spiral galaxies. ...
