In this paper we present the spatial distribution of ionized hydrogen gas, Hα, in a set of 52 bright barred Shapley-Ames spiral galaxies. In summary we were able to detect Hα line emission from distinct regions in the galaxies as from compact nuclei, from circumnuclear rings, from the bar, from ends of bars, from inner rings, from spiral arms, from outer rings and from places or structures perpendicular either to the bar or to the spiral arms.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
