Photon and Metal Production in Starburst Galaxies
Starburst galaxies are significant contributors to the production of light and matter in the local universe. I review the results of recent surveys of starburst galaxies from the radio to X-rays for a panchromatic picture of a “typical” local starburst. The two prototypical examples NGC 7714 and M 82 are discussed in some detail. The overall galaxy properties are tightly related to those of the...
متن کاملStructure and Evolution of Nearby UV - bright Starburst Galaxies
Nearby (D≤ 100 Mpc) luminous blue starburst galaxies frequently show morphological evidence for recent involvement in mild collisions , or minor mergers where the disk survives. As a consequence UV-bright starbursts are preferentially seen in near face-on galaxies, and the postburst systems may become star-forming late-type galaxies. If this starburst evolutionary channel is important at modera...
متن کاملModelling the UV to sub-mm SED of Starburst Galaxies
This paper reviews the theoretical modelling of starburst galaxies with particular emphasis on the importance of the gas-phase physics in determining the form of the continuum SED and the emission line spectrum. Both line and continuum diagnostics have been used as star formation indicators. Here, we examine from the point of view of the theory how reliable each of these indicators may be, and ...
متن کاملThe Most Metal-Poor Galaxies
Metallicity is a key parameter that controls many aspects in the formation and evolution of stars and galaxies. In this review we focus on the metal deficient galaxies, in particular the most metal-poor ones, because they play a crucial rôle in the cosmic scenery. We first set the stage by discussing the difficult problem of defining a global metallicity and how this quantity can be measured fo...
متن کاملUV Properties of Primeval Galaxies
The problem of UV properties of primeval galaxies is briefly assessed from the theoretical point of view discussing its impact on the definition of the cosmological model.
