Springer Starbursts: From 30 Doradus To Lyman Break Galaxies by Grijs Richard; González
Starbursts Are Important Features Of Early Galaxy Evolution. Many Of The Distant High-Redshift Galaxies We Are Able To Detect Are In A Starbursting Phase Often Apparently Provoked By A Violent Gravitational Interaction With Another Galaxy. In Fact If We Did Not Know That Major Starbursts Existed These Conference Proceedings Testify That We Would Indeed Have Difficulties Explaining The Key Properties Of The Universe! These Conference Proceedings Cover Starbursts From The Small-Scale Star-Forming Regions In Nearby Galaxies To Galaxy-Wide Events At High Redshifts; One Of The Major Themes Of The Conference Proved To Be Scalability I.E. Can We Scale Up The Small-Scale Events To Describe The Physics On Larger Scales. The Key Outcome Of This Meeting - And These Proceedings - Is A Resounding Yes To This Fundamental Yet Profound Question. The Enhanced Synergy Facilitated By The Collaboration Among Observers Using Cutting-Edge Ground And Space-Based Facilities Theorists And Modellers Has Made These Proceedings A True Reflection Of The State Of The Art In This Very Rapidly Evolving Field.Show More
