Closest Ultra-luminous Infrared Anomaly Triggered by the merging of two smaller galaxies Most of its energy output is Result of a massive burst of star formation, . Luminous far-infrared objects Including an active nucleus at its core Galactic mergers often trigger starbursts May also give rise to supermassive black holes
Glows brightest in infrared light Arp 220 contains two bright maser sources Efficient factory for star deaths
Surrounded by a star-forming region Riddled with a large population of young globular star clusters
Now in the process of merging...... Now in the process of merging......
