About

    Starburst refers to a field of research in astronomy and astrophysics that focuses on the study of regions within galaxies where stars are forming at a much higher rate than usual. These regions are characterized by intense bursts of stellar activity, often triggered by events such as galactic collisions or interactions. Starburst galaxies are of particular interest to researchers because they provide insights into the processes by which stars form and evolve in the universe. Studying starburst regions can also help scientists understand the role of star formation in shaping the structure and evolution of galaxies.
