NGC 4945-A Galaxy with a Nucleus Full of Surprises
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 April 2016
Abstract
At optical wavelengths NGC 4945 is a nondescript edge-on spiral galaxy, much of which is obscured by dense dust clouds. However, at longer wavelengths a prominent nucleus is exposed which possesses both Seyfert and star-burst characteristics. Microwave observations highlight dense molecular clouds located near the nucleus. The large velocity range of these clouds lacks an adequate interpretation.
