Sequential starburst in Arp220?
Abstract
The triggering and evolution of starbursts is not yet well understood. However, the most likely triggers for starbursts are galaxy interactions/mergers, gravitational instabilities, or density waves. The starburst may then propagate through the galaxy and possibly transform it into an Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxy (ULIRG). To examine a starburst galaxy in action, we are carrying out an extensive campaign to observe Arp 220, the closest …
