Description
Galaxies from the groups SRGb016, SRGb046, and WBL105 were examined through broadband R (stellar) and Hα (star formation) wavelengths to discover patterns within their areas of active star formation. The galaxy images were obtained from the Kitt Peak National Observatory WIYN 0.9m telescope. Radial profiles of R and Hα light were derived through surface photometry. There were 18 out of 23 galaxies from SRGb016 (78%), 9 out of 25 galaxies from SRGb046 (36%), and 4 out of 5 galaxies from WBL105 (80%) that were detected in Hα.
