Star-forming regions in NGC 2903 bar

We analyse the star-formation properties in the bar region of NGC 2903 and study its links to the typical bar morphological features. We combine space and ground-based data from the far-ultraviolet to the sub-millimeter spectral ranges to create a panchromatic view of the NGC 2903 bar.

We produce two catalogues: one for the current star-formation regions, as traced by the H{alpha} compact emission, and a second for the ultraviolet (UV) emitting knots, containing positions and luminosities. From them, we obtain ultraviolet colours, star-formation rates, dust attenuation, and H{alpha} EWs, and analyse their spatial distribution. We estimate stellar cluster ages using stellar population synthesis models (Starburst99).
