Starbursts in ring and irregular galaxies
Abstract
This paper presents the current status of a project undertaken to search for extended-scale bursts of star formation (greater than 1 kpc) in irregular and collisionally produced ring galaxies, principally in the southern half of the sky. Results of recent 8.4-GHz radio continuum observations and UBVRI CCD imaging of some of the program galaxies are presented.
