The Evolution of Starbursts: The 331st Wilhelm and Else Heraeus Seminar (AIP Conference Proceedings / Astronomy and Astrophysics)

Starbursts are a spectacular phase in the life of galaxies, with the potential of changing the appearance of the galaxy and enriching its environment with metals in galactic winds. They are a sign post of galaxy evolution and galaxy assembly at high redshifts. This volume brings together all aspects of starburst evolution, focusing on the much debated question of what triggers starbursts.
