Starbursts in Interacting Galaxies: Observations and Models
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Extract
Starbursts have been a puzzling field of research for more than a decade. It is evident that they played a significant rôle in the evolution of many galaxies but still quite little is known about the starburst mechanisms. A way towards a better interpretation of the available data is the comparison with evolution models of starbursts. The modelling of starbursts and the fitting of such model starbursts to observed data will be discussed in this paper. The models have been applied to a subset of starburst and post-starburst galaxies in a sample of 30 interacting systems. These galaxies are not ultraluminous FIR galaxies but rather ordinary starburst galaxies with FIR luminosities of a few 1010 to a few 1011L⊙.
