“…Although in the present case the SOAR images have subarcsecond seeing, taking into account the effect of seeing to fit the inner regions is critical; not doing so may seriously bias some derived structural parameters such as characteristic scale lengths and central densities (Gimeno et al 2005a;Schweizer 1979). Therefore, once the surface brightness was calculated, it was then convolved with the seeing PSF:…”

We observationally investigate the properties of disk galaxies undergoing minor merger or capture events. In this context, the properties of two double-nucleus candidate galaxies, ESO 381-IG 23 and MCG À3-35-14, are analyzed. Both are disk-dominated Sc-Scd galaxies that show a bright knot superposed on their disk body. The size and surface brightness of these knots are in both cases comparable to those of the galaxy nucleus, which has led previous work to classify these galaxies as double-nucleus galaxies. We present results from observations made with the SOAR 4.1 m, CASLEO 2.15 m, and Bosque Alegre 1.54 m telescopes. We determined the values for the apparent and absolute magnitudes of the nuclei and the bright regions and analyzed the surface brightness profiles and colors. We also study the kinematics of the galaxies via their rotation curves. Analytical mass models were fitted under the constraints of both kinematic and photometric observational data. It is found that ESO 381-IG 23 has an absolute magnitude M B ¼ À19:59 and mass M ¼ (3:0 AE 0:2) ; 10 10 M , and its nuclear spectrum shows strong emission lines typical of starbursts. MCG À3-35-14 has M B ¼ À19:97 and M ¼ (9:6 AE 0:5) ; 10 10 M . Both galaxies are morphologically normal disk galaxies. They have a bulge-to-disk ratio of $0.1 and show no significant signatures of dynamical perturbation in their rotation curves. The secondary nuclei candidates are found to be giant H ii regions, rather than nuclei of captured companions. They have masses of (2:2 AE 0:2) ; 10 6 M (ESO 381-IG 23) and (4:1 AE 0:2) ; 10 6 M (MCG À3-35-14), and ages of 6:6 AE 0:1 and 8:0 AE 1:0 Myr, respectively.
