Starburst Galaxy

A starburst galaxy is a galaxy in the process of an intense burst of stellar formation, often as a result of a collision or close encounter between two galaxies. Known starburst galaxies include M82 and IC 10. A subtype of starburst galaxy is the Wolf-Rayet galaxy, where a large portion of stars of the starburst are Wolf-Rayet stars.
