by

Starburst galaxies are major players in the dynamic evolution of the universe. These galaxies, characterized by intense and rapid star formation activity, shed light on exceptional episodes of galactic life. The triggering of these bursts, often linked to gravitational interactions, radically transforms the stellar landscape and the composition of interstellar matter. Studying these phenomena through … Read more
