The Evolution of Starburst Galaxies
Christopher J. Conselice
I review the properties of starburst galaxies in the nearby and distant universe to decipher their evolution as a distinct extragalactic class. The physical processes and environme…
Starbursts and the Evolution of Gas-Rich Galaxies
John S. Gallagher, Christopher J. Conselice, Lynn D. Matthews +1
Moderately luminous starbursts in the nearby universe often occur in disk galaxies that are at most subject to mild external perturbations. An investigation of this type of galaxy…
Patterns of Super Star Cluster Formation in `Clumpy' Starburst Galaxies
J. S. Gallagher, N. L. Homeier, C. J. Conselice +1
We present preliminary results from a Hubble Space Telescope (HST) WFPC2 investigation of spatial and temporal distributions of star clusters in the clumpy irregular galaxy NGC 767…
Physical morphology and triggers of starburst galaxies
C. J. Conselice, M. A. Bershady, J. S. Gallagher
We present a method of determining the likely triggering mechanisms for luminous, nearby starbursts based on their optical asymmetry and (B-V) color -- what we term as indices of `…
