topical issues related to the starburst phenomenon and its role on the galaxy assembly and chemical enrichment history.
The course will cover the following topics:
- theoretical predictions on the spectrophotometric and chemical evolution of starburst galaxies
- the evolving multi-phase interstellar medium in starburst galaxies
- starburst-driven super-shells & galactic winds: theoretical concepts and multi-wavelength (X-ray through radio continuum) observations
- studies of the star formation history of starburst galaxies with color-magnitude diagrams, resolved stellar clusters, and evolutionary and population spectral synthesis models
- the ionized gas component in starburst galaxies: spatial, kinematical, spectroscopic properties and chemical abundance patterns
- interaction-induced starburst activity: IR-luminous- and ultraluminous infrared galaxies, tidal dwarf galaxies
- starburst activity in compact galaxy groups and galaxy clusters
- starbursts in isolated galaxies: blue compact galaxies and green peas
- extremely metal-deficient star-forming galaxies in the nearby universe as local analogs of high-redshift proto-galaxies
- the connection between starbursts, accretion-powered nuclear activity and the assembly history of galaxies and their structural components
- production and escape of Lyman continuum and Lyman-alpha radiation from starburst galaxies
- starburst activity in the early universe: theory and observations
