Abstract

This paper presents the current status of a Ph.D. project undertaken to search for extended-scale bursts of star formation (> 1 kpc) in irregular and collisionally produced ring galaxies, principally in the southern half of the sky. Results of recent 8.4 GHz radio continuum observations and UBVRI CCD imaging of some of the program galaxies are presented.
