We explore the size and physical properties of the narrow-line region (NLR) in active galaxies via imaging and spectroscopy. From HST [OIII] images, we find striking correlations between the size and the luminosity of the NLR with different slopes for type-1 and type-2 AGNs. We show that the influen
## Abstract We study the properties of the dwarf galaxy population in the nearby interacting M81 group of galaxies. In particular, we are deriving the metallicity distribution functions, the ages and the star formation histories of these dwarf galaxies based on data from the Hubble Space Telescope'
Broad, double-peaked, Balmer emission lines are found in the optical spectra of a relatively small fraction of active galactic nuclei. They can be an extremely useful diagnostic for the structure and dynamics of the ''broad-line region" (the medium that emits the broad emission lines). In general te
