| Abstract: |
The late stages of a merger between two gas-rich galaxies are often characterized by
a high concentration of dense gas and active starbursts near the nuclear region.
We are continuing a comprehensive study of such systems in the local universe,
focusing on the detailed observations of the molecular gas component and its relationship
to the on-going star formation. We compare these to active star-forming regions in
nearby galaxies in order to better understand the underlying physical processes. |
