We show that active star formation appears to be occurring not only in the bright nuclei of these galaxies, but also in luminous super-star clusters and giant HII regions with ages of up to 20-40Myr. This population of bright clusters and HII regions is unprecedented in normal galaxies and emphasizes the effects of the extreme star formation in LIRGs.AstrophysicsMassive star formation in Luminous Infrared Galaxiestext
