from the disk is the dominant mechanism in the formation of this NSC. While there is some evidence that other NSCs in spiral galaxies have similar structures (and thus formation histories), a better understanding of NSC formation across Hubble type will require a detailed study resolving the stellar populations and kinematics of numerous nearby NSCs.
