High-resolution NIR imaging of circumnuclear regions in barred galaxies
The circumnuclear regions of some barred galaxies show strong bursts of star formation organized into miniature spiral arms or rings. Recent work has shown the relation between such regions and the structure of the galaxies. This relation has important implications for our understanding not only of galaxy dynamics, but also of central activity. We
