We consider some results on the gas and stellar kinematics of nearby galaxies recently obtained on the 6m telescope of SAO RAS using panoramic spectroscopy methods. The circumnuclear regions of the galaxies were observed with integral-field spectrograph MPFS. The large-scale ionized gas kinematics was studied with the scanning Fabry-Perot interferometer (FPI) in the multi-mode focal reducer SCORPIO. The main attention is devoted to kinematically decoupled regions in the galaxies: bars, spirals, polar disks and rings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Magneto-photoluminescence studies have been performed on the type-II broken-gap GalnAsSb/InAs single heterostructures with 2D-electon channel at the interface containing two occupied energy subbnads. Photoluminescence spectra manifest a set of pronounced emission bands in the spectral region of 0.3-0.5 eV and it has been investigated in magnetic fields up to 10 T. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We have studied two galaxies with active nuclei using the methods of panoramic spectroscopy. In order to investigate the kinematics of ionized gas and stars, we carried out observations at 6-m telescope of the SAO RAS with the integral field spectrograph MPFS. We have created intensity maps and velocity fields in different emission lines of the ionized gas as well as velocity fields for the stellar component. Diagnostic diagrams have also been made based on the emission lines ratios. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs) are among the most intriguing extragalactic sources. Notwithstanding they have been studied since several decades, their internal structure is still a matter of debate. Indeed, large efforts have been made in testing the AGNs Unified Model, since several indications seem to run against the Type 1 - Type 2 dichotomy of AGNs caused by a pure inclination effect. Other mechanisms are likely to play important roles in switching on and fueling the central engine. An effective way to investigate the presence and effects of such additional features in the frame of the Unified Model, is to spectroscopically study the stellar and gaseous nuclear environment in nearby AGNs, in particular Seyfert 1, Seyfert 2 and intermediate type Seyfert. The integral field spectroscopy technique offers a powerful tool to perform these aims. During the last decade several authors, including us, have demonstrated the great capabilities and advantages of using 3D data in exploring the physical properties of extended nuclear and extranuclear galactic regions. In this contribution we present new integral field data of three nearby Seyfert galaxies : Mrk 3, Mrk 1157 and Ark 564. Data have been collected at the SAO 6m telescope (SAO-RAS, Russia) with the Multi-Pupil Fiber Spectrograph. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
