  Title: STARBURST ACTIVITY IN NEARBY SPIRAL GALAXIES                                    


Abstract:
 We propose deep ASCA observations of the nearby spiral galaxy NGC 4826 and the
 nearby interacting galaxy pair NGC 4485/4490. This will provide detailed spectral
 information relating to the starburst activity evident in both systems. We will also
 search for a hard power law spectral component indicative of low-luminosity nuclear
 activity in the galaxies.
