NGC 3627 (UGC 6346, 1117+1315) -- The nucleus of this bright Sb galaxy has a prominent optical emission line spectrum that is intermediate between that of a LINER and and an H II nucleus (Ho et al. 1996a). The UV image shows a weak, diffuse centrally-peaked light distribution. It is offset from the image center due to an inaccuracy in the nuclear position that was estimated from a GASP image and input to HST. There is a hint of spiral structure which, however, requires confirmation. |
