Resumo/Abstract:

The role of stars
and starbursts in AGN has been a recurring issue for nearly as long as
AGN have been recognized as hosts of interesting phenomena. The heated
“starburst versus monster” controversy of the 80's and
90's was gradually replaced by “starburst plus monster”
studies, as observational work in the past decade has firmly established
that accretion onto a super-massive black-hole and star-formation coexist
in many galactic nuclei. Whereas the physical link between starbursts
and AGN remains unclear, there remains no doubt that starbursts affect
a number of properties traditionally associated to the AGN alone, such
as the so called “featureless continuum”, emission line ratios,
luminosities, and other. |
