Star Formation in Starburst Galaxies
Some of the basic properties of star formation in starburst galaxies are reviewed. I discuss triggering and termination mechanisms in starbursts and provide estimates of star-formation rates. Galaxies with ongoing star formation at low and high redshift are compared.
متن کاملStar formation and selective dust extinction in luminous starburst galaxies
We investigate the star formation and dust extinction properties of very luminous infrared galaxies whose spectra display a strong Hδ line in absorption and a moderate [Oii] emission (e[a] spectrum). This spectral combination has been suggested to be a useful method to identify dusty starburst galaxies at any redshift on the basis of optical data alone. We compare the average e(a) optical spect...
متن کاملStar Cluster Formation and Evolution in Nearby Starburst Galaxies: II. Initial Conditions
We use the ages, masses and metallicities of the rich young star cluster systems in the nearby starburst galaxies NGC 3310 and NGC 6745 to derive their cluster formation histories and subsequent evolution. We further expand our analysis of the systematic uncertainties involved in the use of broad-band observations to derive these parameters (Paper I) by examining the effects of a priori assumpt...
متن کاملThe Evolution of Starburst Galaxies
I review the properties of starburst galaxies in the nearby and distant universe to decipher their evolution as a distinct extragalactic class. The physical processes and environments of massive star-formation appear to be similar out to z ∼ 4, although the modes of triggering are likely quite different, varied, and still evolving. This is argued with the use of a structural system that measure...
متن کاملMassive star clusters in dwarf starburst galaxies
I will discuss the presence of massive star clusters in starburst galaxies with an emphasis on low mass galaxies outside the local group. I will show that such galaxies, with respect to their mass and luminosity, may be very rich in young luminous clusters.
