An analysis of the IRAS data for a sample of classical (optically selected) Seyfert galaxies is presented. The IRAS fluxes at 25 micron, 60 micron, and 100...

The present volume on stellar formation discusses basic physical principles relevant to such processes, regions of recent star formation, galaxy formation and...

Massive star formation in the central regions of spiral galaxies plays an important role in the dynamical and secular evolution of their hosts. Here, we...

Barred galaxies frequently exhibit central starburst activity, typically concentrated in circumnuclear rings. Much of direct and circumstantial evidence speaks...

We present optical and millimeter (continuum and molecular) observations of a cometary globule in the Trifid nebula showing clear signs of star formation...

The [OII]3727 emission line is frequently used as an indicator of the star formation rate (SFR) despite its complex dependence on metallicity and excitation...

Measurements of the global star formation history of the universe greatly benefit from the combination of independent star formation rate (SFR) indicators, and...
