Starbursts / Star-forming Galaxies

As part of the e-MERLIN Legacy Project & Collaboration (LIRGI), this work has as objectives to stablish resolved calibrated star formation (SF) rates for local $(z < 0.1)$ Luminous and Ultra-Luminous Infrared Galaxies (U/LIRGs), and separating the emission related to active-galactic-nuclei (AGN). Detailed studies of local U/LIRGs play a fundamental role in the understanding of SF activity and...
Luminous Infrared galaxies (LIRGs) are rare in the local universe but play a crucial role in our understanding of galaxy evolution, as they account for over 50% of the cosmic-infrared background and most of the stars formed at z>1. They are often associated with interacting and merging systems, whose complexity requires high spatial imaging to disentangle Star Formation (SF) and any Active...
In the era of state-of-the-art radio observations, paving the way to the SKA, the necessity of multi-wavelength and multi-frequency observations has been established as the only approach to understanding the radio source populations. This is demonstrated in all its glory via the panchromatic dataset of the COSMOS field, with the latest additions of the LOFAR and JWST datasets. Approaches as...
A new generation of radio telescopes such as ASKAP, MeerKAT and LOFAR are bringing new discoveries because of their high sensitivity to low surface brightness objects and the wide field coverage. Odd radio circles (ORC), intergalactic SNR and various other features connected with the shapes of AGN jets such as the re-collimator NGC 2663 and Dancing Ghosts are the most recent examples of such...
In recent years, we learned that magnetic fields (B-fields) and cosmic rays (CRs) play a crucial role in shaping the evolution of galaxies and their halos, influencing processes from gas dynamics to accretion phenomena. A comprehensive exploration of these magnetic field effects is essential for advancing our understanding of the fundamental drivers behind galactic evolution. For this task,...
