ABSTRACT AST-9322779 Kenny, Jeffrey The Principal Investigator will investigate the effects of both local dynamics and the cluster environment on the properties of massive star formation in galaxies by a detailed examination of high resolution images and rotation curves of Virgo cluster and isolated spiral galaxies. By first understanding how the properties of the star-forming disks depend on local dynamics, he will identify environmental factors which influences star formation. This study will increase our understanding of the factors which control star formation and spiral structure in all galaxies. ***

Kenny， Jeffrey将通过对室女星团和孤立螺旋星系的高分辨率图像和旋转曲线的详细检查，研究局部动力学和星团环境对星系中大质量恒星形成特性的影响。通过首先了解恒星形成盘的特性如何依赖于局部动力学，他将确定影响恒星形成的环境因素。这项研究将增加我们对所有星系中控制恒星形成和螺旋结构的因素的理解。＊＊＊
