Star Formation Histories

Starburst galaxies are currently forming massive stars at prodigious rates. I discuss the star-formation histories and the shape of the initial mass function, with particular emphasis on the high- and on the low-mass end. The classical Salpeter IMF is consistent with constraints from observations of the most massive stars, irrespective of environmental properties. The situation at the low-mass end is less clear: direct star counts in nearby giant H II regions show stars down to ~1 M⊙, whereas dynamical arguments in some starburst galaxies suggest a deficit of such stars.

Stellar Initial Mass Function

We report the discovery of two new Wolf-Rayet galaxies: Mrk 1039, and F8208+2816. Two broad WR bumps at 5808Å and 4650Å indicate the presence of WCE and WNL star populations in these two sources. Comparison of the observed EW(HeII λ4686) and EW(CIV λ5808) with recent models of WR populations in young starbursts provide an indication that the stellar initial mass function in some WR galaxies might not be Salpeter-like.
