About CCD&G

Galaxies commonly experienced times of intense star-formation when the universe was young. This intense period almost certainly resulted in the formation of the globular cluster populations that we see today in all galaxies. Although rare, a few galaxies undergoing ‘extreme’ star formation, which can reach intensities 1000 times higher than in our own Milky Way, do exist in the modern universe. This project is completing multi-wavelength broad-and narrow-band imaging, from the ultraviolet to the near-infrared, for 13 of the most extreme star-forming galaxies found in the modern universe. These include massive and dwarf, interacting and isolated, dusty and nearly dust-free galaxies. Understanding the stellar clusters, star-forming clumps, dust and gas in these nearby systems will help us to better understand the conditions present when galaxies were young.
