Star Formation in Starburst Galaxies
نویسنده
چکیده
Some of the basic properties of star formation in starburst galaxies are reviewed. I discuss triggering and termination mechanisms in starbursts and provide estimates of star-formation rates. Galaxies with ongoing star formation at low and high redshift are compared.

Stellar Populations in the Central Galaxies of Fossil Groups
It is inferred from the symmetrical and luminous X-ray emission of fossil groups that they are mature, relaxed galaxy systems. Cosmological simulations and observations focusing on their dark halo and inter-galactic medium properties confirm their early formation. Recent photometric observations suggest that, unlike the majority of non-fossil brightest group galaxies (BGGs), the central early-t...
متن کاملAGN Zoo and Classications of Active Galaxies
We review the variety of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) classes (so-calledAGN zoo") and classification schemes of galaxies by activity types based on their optical emission-line spectrum, as well as other parameters and other than optical wave-length ranges. A historical overview of discoveries of various types of active galaxies is given, including Seyfert galaxies, radio galaxies, QSOs, BL Lace...

Radio continuum observations are a probe of star formation in galaxies, and are unaffected by dust extinction. Observations of the distant rich cluster Cl 0939+4713 have detected radio galaxies classified as post-starburst (“k+a”) on the basis of their optical spectra, and presumably this situation arises from heavily dust-obscured star formation (Smail et al. 1999). We present the results of a...

متن کاملThe Hα Galaxy Survey. Viii. Close Companions and Interactions, and the Definition of Starbursts
We consider the massive star formation properties, radial profiles, and atomic gas masses of those galaxies in our Hα Galaxy Survey that have close companion galaxies, in comparison with a matched control sample of galaxies without companions. Our analysis is based on Hα and continuum images of 327 disk galaxies that form a representative sample of the local Universe. We find that the presence ...
