description This research focused on the study of multiple spiral structures in galaxies undergoing various types of interactions, with a specific emphasis on galaxies NGC 4254 and NGC 5985. Using the two-dimensional Fourier transform, the study provides insights into the complex morphological features of these galaxies. NGC 4254, classified as SA(s)c, reveals prominent m = 1 and m = 2 modes in the Fourier analysis, indicating continuous spiral structures extending from the nucleus to the outer regions. In the case of NGC 5985, classified as SAB(r)b, the dominant Fourier modes are m = 1 and m = 2. The study measured the length of the bar to be 3.9 kpc and a ring with a radius of 10.9 kpc. The presence of discontinuous spiral structures is attributed to numerous bifurcations in the spiral arms. In summary, this research provides valuable insights into the nature of multiple spiral structures in interacting galaxies. The two-dimensional Fourier transform proves to be a valuable tool for uncovering morphological details, offering key insights into the evolutionary histories and environmental influences of NGC 4254 and NGC 5985.

Esta investigación se centró en el estudio de las estructuras espirales múltiples en galaxias que experimentan diversos tipos de interacciones, con un enfoque específico en las galaxias NGC 4254 y NGC 5985. Utilizando la transformada de Fourier bidimensional, la investigación proporciona información sobre las complejas características morfológicas de estas galaxias. NGC 4254, clasificada como SA(s)c, revela modos m=1 y m=2 prominentes en el análisis de Fourier, lo que indica estructuras espirales continuas que se extienden desde el núcleo hasta las regiones exteriores. En el caso de NGC 5985, clasificada como SAB(r)b, los modos de Fourier dominantes son m=1 y m=2. El estudio midió la longitud de la barra hasta los 3.9 kpc y un anillo con un radio de 10.9 kpc. La presencia de estructuras espirales discontinuas, atribuidas a las numerosas bifurcaciones en los brazos espirales. En resumen, esta investigación arroja valiosa información sobre la naturaleza de las estructuras espirales múltiples en galaxias que están en interacción. La transformada de Fourier bidimensional se presenta como una herramienta valiosa para descubrir detalles morfológicos, proporcionando información clave sobre las historias evolutivas e influencias ambientales de NGC 4254 y NGC 5985.
