4 Towards a better understanding of the Hubble Diagram How different substructures form and evolve?
5 Towards a better understanding of the Hubble Diagram How different substructures form and evolve? What is the connection between processes on galactic scales and local processes such as star-formation and/or nuclear activity?
6 Towards a better understanding of the Hubble Diagram How different substructures form and evolve? What is the connection between processes on galactic scales and local processes such as star-formation and/or nuclear activity? What can we learn from quantifying the role of secular evolution?

Artist s conception of NGC 1097 s inner ring structure which is about 4,500 light-years in diameter. This is the region where several thousand spectra were obtained with the Gemini Multi-object Spectrograph to understand the detailed motions of this gas.

55 Combination with CO studies Combining optical with CO kinematics is crucial to link the dynamics with the state of he ISM How much of the gas is being converted into stars at and/or inside the resonance points How much the cold gas is displaced with respect to its hot counterparts Do dynamical models correctly predict the location and strength of the shocks How much gas is funnelled all the way into an AGN? Can the inflow sustain nuclear starburst, AGN activity?
