Abstract
Starburst galaxies are ideal laboratories to study both the physics of massive stars and processes important in galaxy formation and evolution. Observations of starburst galaxies at UV wavelengths are crucial because only in this spectral regime can we directly observe the spectroscopic signatures of the hot, massive stars that power the emission at other wavebands. UV signatures from massive stars are mainly broad spectral features (e.g. P Cygni profiles of SiIVλ1400, and CIVλ1550) formed in the stellar winds.
