Linked from

The 31 pages that link to Starburst galaxy, each with the reason it gives.

• Galaxy mergerRelated: Merger-driven gas compression can trigger a temporary surge of star formation.

• Galaxy interactionRelated: Tidal forces can drive gas inward and trigger a brief surge of star formation.

• Irregular galaxyRelated: Some irregulars undergo starbursts, often following interactions that compress their gas.

• Antennae GalaxiesRelated: The collision compresses gas and triggers intense episodes of star formation.

• O-type starRelated: Its ultraviolet output and nebular emission often reveal populations of short-lived O-type stars.

• Galactic barRelated: Bar-driven gas inflow can contribute to intense central star formation.

• Cartwheel GalaxyRelated: The Cartwheel’s collision-driven ring contains intense regions of star formation.

• Luminous infrared galaxyRelated: Concentrated star formation heats dust and can dominate a luminous infrared galaxy’s energy output.

• Ultra-high-energy cosmic rayRelated: Its supernova-driven winds may help accelerate cosmic rays to extreme energies.

• Arp 220Related: Arp 220’s merger-fed gas supports an unusually intense episode of star formation.

• Peculiar galaxyRelated: Interaction-driven starbursts can make a galaxy unusually bright and active.

• Super star clusterRelated: Starbursts create dense environments where massive clusters can form in large numbers.

• Interacting galaxyRelated: An encounter can compress gas and drive a temporary surge of star formation.

• Cosmic rays and astroparticlesRelated: Frequent supernovae and powerful winds may create a large-scale cosmic-ray accelerator.
