Abstract
Episodes of star formation that are too intense to continue over the life-times of galaxies are often termed starbursts. Such episodes have received increasing amounts of attention because they can be the dominant source of a galaxy’s luminosity in many wavebands. Furthermore, nearby examples of starbursts have the potential of teaching us much about the formation of massive stars, and can show what newly forming galaxies might look like at early epochs of the universe.
