[58.13] Searching for Superbubbles in NGC 300

D. A. Tomczyk, L. V. Jones (Denison University)

We present preliminary results of a multi-wavelength search for superbubbles in the southern nearby face-on spiral galaxy, NGC 300. Using two different recombination lines of hydrogen, we create an extinction map of the galaxy. This extinction map is used to correct the narrowband images taken at the wavelengths of [SII] and H\alpha. The corrected maps are then searched for superbubble candidates.
