Abstract:
    We present broadband (U, V, I, and H) and narrowband (H{alpha}+[N II]
    and Pa{alpha}) images of the circumnuclear starburst rings in two
    nearby spiral galaxies, NGC 1512 and NGC 5248, obtained with the WFPC2
    and NICMOS cameras on HST. Combined with previously published
    ultraviolet (UV) HST images at 2300{AA} these data provide a
    particularly wide wavelength range with which to study the properties
    of the stellar populations, the gas, and the dust in the rings.

Note (1): Galaxy nucleus of NGC 1512 (table3.dat) is at pixel coordinates
           419.6, 390.7.
          Galaxy nucleus of NGC 5248 (table4.dat) is at pixel coordinates
           422.16, 396.02
Note (2): For null detections, the flux limits actually depend on the local
          background and crowding, and the limits quoted are just those
          typical for the band.
Note (3): Fluxes are in units of 10^-19^ergs/s/cm^2^/{AA}
Note (4): Missing entries are for sources outside the field of view of the
          FOC or NICMOS.
