IRAS 04000+5052: A not so compact, not so metal-poor HII region

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present new observations of IRAS 04000+5052, a Galactic HII region associated with a young stellar cluster and possibly located at the Perseus arm and find that the electron density and chemical composition of the nebula are similar to those of normal HII regions of the Galactic disk.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interactions and star-formation activity in Wolf–Rayet galaxies

TL;DR: In this article, a detailed morphological, photometric and spectroscopic analysis of a sample of 20 Wolf-Rayet (WR) galaxies was performed, and the main aims were the study of the star formation and O and WR stellar populations in these galaxies and the role that interactions between low surface brightness companion objects have in the triggering of the bursts.
Journal ArticleDOI

Galaxy and mass assembly (GAMA): comparing visually and spectroscopically identified galaxy merger samples

TL;DR: In this paper , a comparison of the merging galaxy populations detected by a sample of visual identification of tidal features around galaxies as well as spectroscopically detected close pairs of galaxies was conducted to determine whether our method of selecting merging galaxies biases our understanding of galaxy interactions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Massive star formation in Wolf-Rayet galaxies. V: Star formation rates, masses and the importance of galaxy interactions

TL;DR: In this article, the authors performed a comprehensive analysis of a sample of 20 starburst galaxies, most of them classified as Wolf-Rayet galaxies, and analyzed the global properties of their galaxy sample using multi-wavelength data (X-ray, FUV, optical, NIR, FIR, and radio).
