Star-forming regions (see Fig. 2) of the galaxy NGC 7469 (N245M filter) divided by the areas – R₁ and R₂ containing northern and southern arms, respectively (left). The measurements of the box size and division are provided in Sect. 4.2.3. North is up and west is left. The plot showing the distance from the central AGN as a function of flux values (in μJy) of the star-forming regions (refer the electronically available Tables) in the R₁ and R₂ areas is shown by blue squares and red circles, respectively, in various UVIT filters (right). The green line is the median flux value of the SF regions in those filters. It clearly shows the enhanced star-formation process occurring in the R₁ region suggesting that the interaction might have occurred along that arm.
