| Abstract: |
We have made a detailed study of the kinematics of the ionized gas in the nearly face-on spiral galaxy NGC 5668 by means of Fabry-Perot spectroscopy using the TAURUS II interferometer at the WHT. We have found in this galaxy several regions with important vertical motions which are clearly associated with star forming regions. This finding can provide a link between other phenomena observed in this galaxy (namely the high velocity clouds found by Schulman et al. 1996) and the star formation processes in the disk, as predicted by the chimney model by Norman & Ikeuchi (1989). |
