Abstract

Description

Moderately luminous starbursts in the nearby universe often occur in disk galaxies that are at most subject to mild external perturbations. An investigation of this type of galaxy leads to a better understanding of starburst triggering mechanisms and the resulting star formation processes, and provides useful comparisons to more extreme starbursts seen at high redshifts.
