“…The frequency of the oscillations is close to the fundamental frequency calculated in the paper and evident in the third panel of Figure 1. We attribute these oscillations to the presence of very weakly damped coherent modes in the stellar system, of the kind reported by Miller (1992) and Miller & Smith (1992), and calculated by Mathur (1990) and Weinberg (1994).…”

“…Nonetheless, we estimate nuclear masses M nuke $ 10 6 10 7 M , comparable to the masses of low-luminosity star cluster nuclei derived for other late-type spirals [e.g., As a final note, we draw attention to the fact that some of the nuclei in our present sample appear to be offset from the dynamical centers of the galaxies as defined by either the optical continuum and/or the centroid of the global H i profile (see also the Appendix). The frequent displacement of compact nuclei from the dynamical centers of galaxies has been discussed previously by Miller & Smith (1992; see also Levine & Sparke 1998) and may offer an important clue to the formation mechanism of the nuclei. Higher resolution spectroscopy of more extensive samples of these types of nuclei is clearly desirable in order to better understand their natures, to improve these mass estimates, and to help us…”

“…Previous works have suggested coupling between m = 1 and m = 2 modes (Tagger & Athanassoula 1991), as well as among m = 1, 2 and 3 modes for both gaseous (Laughlin & Korchagin 1996) and stellar (Miller & Smith 1992;Quillen et al 2011) discs. We now turn our attention to the m = 3 spectra, shown in the fourth row of Fig.…”
