Abstract

Galactic encounters can induce starbursts and nuclear activity in galaxies, but the evolutionary connection is unclear. Encounters can deposit huge masses of gas in the nuclear region of a galaxy, where it forms stars with high efficiency. Gas or stars concentrated in the central few parsecs may explain the nuclear luminosity and the broad emission lines.
