The role of Starbursts in the Star Formation History of the Universe
Rosa M. Gonzalez Delgado
TL;DR
This review explores how starbursts influence the universe's star formation history, highlighting properties of local and distant starburst galaxies, and their role in galaxy evolution.
Contribution
It provides a comprehensive overview of starbursts' role in galaxy formation, emphasizing similarities across redshifts and the significance of LIRGs, ULIRGs, and mergers.
Findings
Local starbursts share properties with high-redshift galaxies
LIRGs and ULIRGs are key in galaxy evolution
Merging systems significantly impact star formation history
Abstract
This review presents a personal view of the role that starbursts play in the star formation history of the universe. It is mainly focused on the properties of nearby starburst galaxies selected for their strong UV and/or FIR emission. The similarities between local starbursts and star-forming galaxies at high redshift are also presented. I discuss too the role that LIRGs and ULIRGs and merging systems play in the formation and evolution of galaxies.
