Scientific paper

We propose UV imaging observations of the colliding galaxy system NGC 3690 / IC 694, which contains several regions of intense starburst activity. The morphology of the early-type stellar population will be used to determine the relationship between the galaxy interaction and the resultant starburst activity. The UV images will be compared with images of the system in the optical continuum, H alpha line, near IR, mid-IR, CO line, 21cm line, and radio continuum to understand the spatial relationship of the starburst component to the older stars, hot dust, and molecular and atomic gas. The UV morphology will be compared with the kinematics of the ionized and molecular gas to determine the connection of the starburst location and intensity to the system kinematics. Previous IUE observations show that this system has detectable UV emission, making it an excellent candidate for UV imaging studies.
