Starburst group - Spring 2009



Welcome to the starburst group webpage at the Leiden Observatory! This is a group of people interested in starburst galaxies, AGNs, massive star formation and related topics. We generally meet every week on Fridays at 4pm (just before the borrel!) in room 431 of the Oort building to discuss observations and theoretical aspects of this exciting branch of astrophysics. Here you will find a schedule of our future meetings, and a list of relevant papers. If you have questions or want to keep in touch with the group, please contact Rafael Martínez (martinez@strw.leidenuniv.nl).
