Dust Absorption and the Ultraviolet Luminosity Density at z ≈ 3 as Calibrated by Local Starburst Galaxies [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
We refine a technique to measure the absorption-corrected ultraviolet (UV) luminosity of starburst galaxies using rest-frame UV quantities alone and apply it to Lyman-limit U dropouts at z ≈ 3 found in the Hubble Deep Field (HDF).

Comparing Star Formation Histories and Evolutionary Pathways of Post-starburst and E+A Galaxies in TNG50 and SDSS-IV MaNGA

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
E+A galaxies represent a class of recently quenched objects, with spectra that show evidence of a previous substantial starburst and strong Balmer absorption lines indicative of A-type stellar populations.

GOALS-JWST: Mid-infrared Spectroscopy of the Nucleus of NGC 7469

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
We present mid-infrared spectroscopic observations of the nucleus of the nearby Seyfert galaxy NGC 7469 taken with the MIRI instrument on the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) as part of Directors Discretionary Time Early Release Science program 1328 ...

The Impact of Starbursts on the Circumgalactic Medium [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
We present a study exploring the impact of a starburst on the properties of the surrounding circum-galactic medium (CGM): gas located beyond the galaxy's stellar body and extending out to the virial radius (200 kpc). We obtained ultraviolet spectroscopic

Local starburst galaxies and their descendants. Statistics from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Despite strong interest in the starburst phenomenon in extragalactic astronomy, the concept remains ill-defined. Here we use a strict definition of starburst to examine the statistical properties of starburst galaxies in the local universe.

The Mitchell Spectrograph: Studying Nearby Galaxies with the VIRUS Prototype

open access: yesAdvances in Astronomy, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013
The Mitchell Spectrograph (a.k.a. VIRUS‐P) on the 2.7 m Harlan J. Smith telescope at McDonald Observatory is currently the largest field of view (FOV) integral field unit (IFU) spectrograph in the world (1.7′ × 1.7′). It was designed as a prototype for the highly replicable VIRUS spectrograph which consists of a mosaic of IFUs spread over a 16 ...

COSMOS-Web: The Role of Galaxy Interactions and Disk Instabilities in Producing Starbursts at z < 4

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We study of the role of galaxy–galaxy interactions and disk instabilities in producing starburst activity in galaxies out to z = 4. For this, we use a sample of 387 galaxies with robust total star formation rate measurements from Herschel, gas masses ...

The interaction-driven starburst contribution to the cosmic star formation rate density

open access: yes, 2013
An increasing amount of observational evidence supports the notion that there are two modes of star formation: a quiescent mode in disk-like galaxies, and a starburst mode, which is generally interpreted as driven by merging.
