M82like
M82like refers to a descriptive category of galaxies that resemble Messier 82 in having a compact, intense central starburst and related energetic phenomena. The term is not a formal scientific subclass, but it is used to indicate systems with similar central star-forming activity, infrared luminosity, and evidence of strong feedback such as galactic winds.
Key properties of M82like galaxies include a high star formation rate per unit area concentrated in the
A defining feature of M82like galaxies is the presence of galactic-scale winds driven by the collective effects
Origin and scope: M82like activity is commonly associated with gravitational interactions or mergers that funnel gas
