THE STAR FORMATION IN THE HCG 92

We briefly describe Htex2html_wrap_inline98 and archival B-band images (by Mendes de Oliveira) of HCG 92, which is composed of three interacting galaxies. Diffuse Htex2html_wrap_inline98 emission is detected at 5tex2html_wrap_inline186 above the noise level, extending as far as the system of HCG 92 itself. This diffuse emission suggests that the three galaxies in HCG 92 are interacting with each other. One galaxy is of seyfert type II, and it is consistent with the intense nuclear emission in the Htex2html_wrap_inline98 image. Giant HII regions are identified on tidal tails of remaining two galaxies. However, nuclear star formation of these galaxies is neither confirmed from the Htex2html_wrap_inline98 image nor from the spectroscopy.
