Abstract

There is currently a general re-appreciation of the possible importance of morphology, especially interactions and mergers, to the creation of starbursts and active nuclei in galaxies. Much of the new enthusiasm is attributable to the surprising result from IRAS that there are relatively local galaxies — the ultraluminous IRAS galaxies — that are quasar-like, at least in their luminosities in the far-infrared (L IR ~ 1012 L ⨀).
