Multi-wavelength data have shown that a substantial fraction of barred spiral galaxies exhibit enhanced star formation activity in their central regions. This phenomena is however poorly studied at X-ray energies. We propose joint Chandra/HST observations of two barred starburst galaxies NGC1672 and NGC7771. We request Chandra observations to spatially resolve the X-ray emission into point sources and diffuse emission, enabling us to trace the star formation on small spatial scales and search for obscured starburst/AGN activity. We also request a complimentary optical imaging program with HST/ACS, permitting us to identify the optical counterparts to X-ray point sources and map the optical emission from star formation in their local environments on similar scales to Chandra.
