Starburst galaxies – An observer’s view

Astrophysics and Space Science, 2004
Starbursts are the most efficient producers of metals in the Universe at low redshifts. They produce enough energy to drive outflows of material from their disks. This makes them important objects to study in order to understand the chemical evolution not only of the interstellar medium (ISM) in the starburst galaxies themselves, but also of the ...

Red Post-Starburst Galaxies

Astrophysics and Space Science, 1994
Observations of nearby star-forming regions suggest that the initial mass function is deficient in low-mass stars when the ambient star formation rate is high. We investigate the consequences of a truncated initial mass function on the photometric evolution of star burst galaxies using new models of stellar population synthesis. A major prediction with

Activity in Liner and Starburst Galaxies

Astrophysics and Space Science, 1993
We find, using narrow-band imaging, a direct spatial coincidence between the location of bright [Fe II] 1.64µm line emission and compact steep spectrum radio sources in the nuclear region of the starburst galaxy NGC 253. For a large sample of active galaxies (starburst, LINER and Seyferts) we also find a strong correlation between the integrated ...

Starburst Galaxies: An Infrared Perspective

2005
The infrared regime is a key range for studies of starburst galaxies. It contains a rich variety of tracers of the gas, dust, and star-formation activity and enables us to probe deep into dust-enshrouded star-forming regions. Selected results based on diagnostics at near and mid-infrared wavelengths are highlighted.

The starburst galaxy NGC1808: another M82?

Astrophysics and Space Science, 1994
An optical polarization map of the starburst galaxy NGC1808 shows that on kpc scales there is a coherent galactic magnetic field which follows the spiral arms on the galaxy. The inner 750pc surrounding the central region shows characteristics of a huge reflection nebula illuminated by the various hotspots within the starburst.

The Demographics of Starburst Galaxies

AIP Conference Proceedings, 2005
With the advent of an explosion of new data on star formation rates in galaxies from SDSS, 2DF, GALEX, Spitzer, HST, and an armada of new Hα imaging surveys, we are in the midst of a revolution in our understanding of starbursts and their host galaxies.

The Starburst Galaxy M82

1988
Messier 82 has become a prototype for starburst galaxies, which as a class are now readily identifiable in the data from the far-infrared satellite IRAS. M82 is of particular interest because of its relative proximity, which permits the observation of individual star-related radio sources (Kronberg et al. 1985).

Starbursts in interacting galaxies

2008
We first review the evidence for IR activity in interacting and merging galaxies, based on 10 and 20 µm observations. We then investigate the ‘starbursts vs. monsters’ explanations for the energy source powering the IR activity in these galaxies. Using available IR photometry, and IR, optical, and ultraviolet spectroscopy, we show that, in general, a ...
