The Origin of Star-forming Rings in S0 Galaxies

Spatially resolved integral field spectroscopic maps in a sample of 532 S0 galaxies from the MaNGA survey have unveiled the existence of inner rings (〈 R 〉 ∼ 1 R _e ) betraying ongoing star formation in a number of these objects. Activity gradients averaged over bins of galactocentric radius up to ∼...
