| Description | The starburst phenomenon was viewed as increasingly important since the recognition that some galaxies have regions in which stars are forming so rapidly that a transient event must be seen. Such starbursts populate samples of galaxies selected either for UV or IR excess, and some were found from IRAS source identifications that must be quite heavily obscured at optical wavelengths. Many interpretations of the physical conditions in these objects and their stellar populations have relied on scaling from models of individual H II regions, and this certainly seems justified from the gross appearance of the optical spectra and IR spectral shapes. Collection of complementary UV, optical, and near-IR data is presented on a set of starbursts, with a preliminary analysis of models for more realistic internal structure. |
