Constraints on the minor merging and star formation history of the Wolf–Rayet galaxy NGC 5430 through observations
Abstract We used multi-wavelength analysis of the newly observed molecular gas [12CO and 13CO(1–0)] with interferometer CARMA and archival star formation tracers to constrain the interaction, merging, and star formation history of an off-center minor merger, a three-spiral barred galaxy NGC 5430 and its satellite embedded in the bar.
