The Starburst Nuclear Region in M82 Compared in Several Wave Bands

Abstract

We utilize new, sensitive radio continuum images of M82 at 1.5, 15 and 22 GHz for a comparison with images at other wave bands that have recently appeared in the literature. Overlays of the radio data with images in the optical V band (Hubble Space T elescope observations), mid-infrared, the [Ne II] line, and the CO (1 ] 0) and the HCN line are presented as a reference for future analyses and interband comparisons.
