H-alpha continuum subtracted image of the central region of M100, as obtained using the TAURUS instrument on the WHT, with sub-arcsecond resolution. The H-alpha emission shows where massive stars are presently1y forming, represented by white in this false colour image. Note that the spiral arms visible in this image connect directly to the spiral arms in the disc of the galaxy (courtesy of J. H. Knapen). [TIFF] |
