Starburst galaxies – An observer's view
Astrophysics and Space Science, 2004Starbursts 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 ...

The Starburst Galaxy M82 [PDF]
, 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).

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

A brief review of IRAS galaxy redshift surveys is given. The evolution of starburst galaxies is discussed and a detailed model for source-counts from radio to X-rays is outlined. The role of starbursts in the Hubble Deep Field is explored.

Starbursts in interacting galaxies
2008We 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 ...

Activity in Liner and Starburst Galaxies
Astrophysics and Space Science, 1993We 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 ...

▪ Abstract At luminosities above 1011 , infrared galaxies become the dominant population of extragalactic objects in the local Universe (z ≲ 0.3), being more numerous than optically selected starburst and Seyfert galaxies and quasi-stellar objects at ...
