Star formation in NGC 4038/4039
We performed near infrared integral field spectroscopy of several star clusters and the nuclei of the prototypical merger NGC 4038/39 ("The Antennae"). Near infrared (NIR) images covered both galaxies. The collision of the two gas-rich spiral galaxies has triggered a starburst obvious from...
