3. Introduction Starburst = short-lived intense period of star formation that is unsustainable over the Hubble time due to the limited supply of gas within a galaxy (McQuinn + 2010); generally, interactions/mergers are triggers Dwarf Galaxy = low luminosity, low mass system, contained in a dark matter halo; believed to be the “Building Blocks” of larger galaxies Starburst Dwarf Galaxy = possibly a “Building Block” in action? What is the role of interactions/mergers between dwarf galaxies? April 2, 20123Megan Johnson - TF 35

4. April 2, 20124Megan Johnson - TF 35 Introduction Can HI environment around starburst dwarf galaxies provide clues to their interaction/merger history?
