Descripción
Actively star-forming galaxies are an important component of the local
universe. They provide a unique opportunity to study the violent
star-formation events that were much more prevalent at higher redshifts,
probably triggered by the merging of galaxies. Advances arising from new
satellite and ground-based observations, as well as sophisticated
modelling techniques, were discussed at the RAS Specialist Discussion
Meeting held on 9 December 2005, summarized by Linda J Smith and Johan H
Knapen.
