    Starburst ages in HII galaxies
    The age of the starbursts of a few H2 galaxies is derived from optical photometry and compared with previous results from radio continuum spectra. H2 galaxies...

    Starburst galaxies in the COSMOS field: clumpy star-formation at redshift 0 < z < 0.5
    Context. At high redshift, starburst galaxies present irregular morphologies with 10-20% of their star formation occurring in giant clumps. These clumpy...
