HST UBVI photometry of NGC 3081 inner regions

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

We present Hubble Space Telescope Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 images of the inner regions of NGC 3081, an absolute magnitude M_B_=-20.0 early-type barred spiral having four well-defined resonance rings: a nuclear ring, an inner ring, an outer R_1_ ring, and an outer R'_2_ pseudoring.

Description

Here we focus on a photometric study of the inner ring, a feature likely associated with an inner 4:1 resonance near the ends of the bar.

The ring is notable for its high contrast and sharp definition, which is due to a significant degree of active star formation. The ring is also notable for its significant intrinsic elongation and parallel alignment with the bar.
