Stalin Abstract Type : Oral Abstract Category : Extragalactic Astronomy Abstract : Centaurus A is the nearest Active Galactic Nucleus at a distance of 3.4 Mpc with star-forming knots observed around the galaxy. It has been argued in the literature that the AGN and/or galactic stellar winds may be shaping the star-forming regions around the galaxy. Ultraviolet imaging observation can directly probe the ongoing star formation in regions around the galaxy and to quantify star-forming rate. We made use of the Ultra-Violet Imaging Telescope to attain the highest ever spatially resolved imaging data on Centaurus A in the far-ultraviolet and near-ultraviolet. The derived star formation properties are complemented with the multi-wavelength observations from radio, submm, far infrared and optical to constrain the dependence of the jet power and stellar wind induced star formation in this archetypical galaxy. |
