Star Formation in Irregular Galaxies

Science, 1989
Irregular galaxies can be viewed as laboratories for studying the processes of star formation. This class of galaxy, unlike the more familiar spiral galaxies, forms stars without spiral arms and does so from a chemically less-evolved interstellar medium.

The Kinematics of Spiral and Irregular Galaxies

Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 1978
The present status of kinematical studies of intermediate- and late-type galaxies is reviewed. The emphasis is on observations that result in extensive maps of velocity fields rather than determinations of rotation curves from major axis observations only.

Periodic bursts of star formation in irregular galaxies [PDF]

open access: yesAstronomy and Astrophysics, 2004
We present N-body/SPH simulations of the evolution of an isolated dwarf galaxy including a detailed model for the ISM, star formation and stellar feedback. Depending on the strength of the feedback, the modelled dwarf galaxy shows periodic or quasi-periodic bursts of star formation of moderate strength.

Starbursts in Ring and Irregular Galaxies

Publications of the Astronomical Society of Australia, 1991
AbstractThis paper presents the current status of a Ph.D. project undertaken to search for extended-scale bursts of star formation (> 1 kpc) in irregular and collisionally produced ring galaxies, principally in the southern half of the sky. Results of recent 8.4 GHz radio continuum observations and UBVRI CCD imaging of some of the program galaxies ...

Clumpy Irregular Galaxies

1983
Our planet Earth revolves around the Sun, 150 million kilometers away. Our Sun is just one of the 100 billions or so stars which swarm across our Galaxy, a vast system with diameter around 100 000 light-years.* Our Galaxy is one of the billion other galaxies which our most powerful telescopes are able to detect in the depths of space, at distances up ...
