Abstract
The central components of late-type galaxies are characterized by exponential surface brightness profiles with Sersic index that varies from 3.7 in S0 galaxies to 2.4 in Sa-Sb galaxies, and to 1.6 in Sbc-Sd galaxies. NGC 3367 is a SB(rs)c galaxy with an exponential pseudobulge (B/D approximately in the range 0.07-0.1) (with Sersic index approximtely in the range 0.9-1.2) and a very strong bar. This galaxy represents a well-suited case to study the inward gas kinematic, induced by the bar, toward the central region to determine what kind of structures contribute to the evolution of the innermost regions of NGC 3367. To achieve our objective we propose GMOS-N two-slit mode IFU observation of the central kpc of NGC 3367 to analyze the relationship between the gas inner fueling and the pseudobulge phase at the present time. The observational results will allow to perform a detailed numerical simulation of the central zone of NGC 3367, to trace the dynamic evolution of the pseudobulge phase for NGC 3367.
