Continuum and reddening of the peculiar nucleus of NGC 5236

Photographic spectrophotometry and UBV multi-aperture photometry are used to analyze the stellar composition and gas content within a region of 12 arcsec in the nuclear bulk of the Sersic-Pastoriza galaxy NGC 5236. An internal reddening E(B - V) equals 0.2 + or - 0.1 mag. is derived for this region....

Description
Summary:Photographic spectrophotometry and UBV multi-aperture photometry are used to analyze the stellar composition and gas content within a region of 12 arcsec in the nuclear bulk of the Sersic-Pastoriza galaxy NGC 5236. An internal reddening E(B - V) equals 0.2 + or - 0.1 mag. is derived for this region. The failure of the fit between the synthetic and the observed continuum for wavelengths from 5600 to 6500 A is discussed.
