We report the discovery of a coherent magnetic spiral structure within the nearby ringed Sab galaxy NGC 4736. High sensitivity radio polarimetric data obtained with the VLA at 8.46GHz and 4.86GHz show a distinct ring of total radio emission precisely corresponding to the bright inner pseudoring visible in other wavelengths. However, unlike the total radio emission, the polarized radio emission reveals a clear pattern of ordered magnetic field of spiral shape, emerging from the galactic centre. The magnetic vectors do not follow the tightly-wrapped spiral arms that characterize the inner pseudoring, but instead cross the ring with a constant and large pitch angle of about 35deg. The ordered field is thus not local adjusted to the pattern of star-formation activity, unlike what is usually observed in grand-design spirals. The observed asymmetric distribution of Faraday rotation suggests the possible action of a large-scale MHD dynamo. The strong magnetic total and regular field within the ring (up to 30microG and 13microG, respectively) indicates that a highly efficient process of magnetic field amplification is under way, probably related to secular evolutionary processes in the galaxy.

We study the extended nuclear emission of the starburst galaxy NGC 1365. A weak obscured AGN and a strong starburst both contribute to the observed X-ray, optical, infrared, and radio emission in the inner 2kpc. The X-ray emission is spatially resolv
ed, allowing comparison with multiwavelength data that highlights the structures dominating the nuclear region: the AGN, the nuclear spiral, the circumnuclear starburst ring, and nuclear outflow. The ultrasoft X-ray emission below 0.5keV is spatially coincident with the conical outflow traced by higher excitation optical emission lines like [O III] and [Ne III]. The strong starburst concentrated in super-star clusters in a circumnuclear ring with radius ~1kpc dominates the 0.5-1.5keV emission and is visible in radio, molecular CO, and infrared maps of the central kiloparsec. The hard (2-10keV) emission is dominated by the obscured AGN, but also contributes to the emission from relatively old (~7Myr) but still enshrouded in dust and extremely massive (10^7Msun) super-star clusters (Galliano 2008), hidden from view in the optical and soft X-ray bands. In the Appendix we present the X-ray spectroscopy and photometry of BL Lac MS 0331.3-3629, a high-energy peaked BL Lac candidate at z=0.308, serendipitously detected in one Chandra and five XMM-Newton observations of NGC1365.
A multi-epoch H$alpha$ survey of the early-type spiral galaxy M94 (NGC 4736) has been completed as part of a program to establish the galaxys nova rate. A total of four nova candidates were discovered in seven epochs of observation during the period
from 2005 to 2007. After making corrections for temporal coverage and spatial completeness, a global nova rate of 5.0$^{+1.8}_{-1.4}$ yr$^{-1}$ was determined. This rate corresponds to a specific-luminosity nova rate of 1.4 $pm$ 0.5 novae per year per 10$^{10} L_{odot,K}$ when the $K$ luminosity is determined from the $B-K$ color, or 1.5 $pm$ 0.4 novae per year per 10$^{10} L_{odot,K}$ when the $K$ luminosity is derived from the Two Micron All Sky Survey. These values are slightly lower than that of other galaxies with measured nova rates, which typically lie in the range of $2-3$ novae per year per 10$^{10} L_{odot}$ in the $K$ band.
Stellar archeology of nearby LINER galaxies may reveal if there is a stellar young population that may be responsible for the LINER phenomenon. We show results for the classical LINER galaxies NGC 4579 and NGC 4736 and find no evidence of such populations.
We present the results of a study of the star HD 34736. The spectropolarimetric observations carried out at the 6-m telescope showed the presence of a strong variable longitudinal magnetic field, exceeding -4500 G. The analysis of the HIPPARCOS photo
metry gives a set of possible periods of the brightness variability of the star, of which 0.3603 days is preferred. The variable radial velocity of spectral lines of the star and some signatures of lines of at least one other component show that HD 34736 is a double short-period system. Modeling of the spectra allowed us to estimate the effective temperature $T_{eff}$ of the stars (13 700 and 11 500 K) and their projected rotational velocities $vsin i$ (73 and $geq90$ km s$^{-1}$). The analysis of all the available information about the star allows us to hypothesize that the object of study is a close, possibly interacting binary system.
We present new spectral and photometric data of confirmed LBV star from the NGC4736 galaxy. The star NGC4736_1 (Mbol = -11.5 mag) showed noticeable spectral variability from 2015 to 2018, which was accompanied by a significant change in the brightnes
s. We also have estimated possible initial mass of the object NGC4736_1 as ~130 Msun.
