The SFR-M* relation Star forming galaxies follow a tight correlation (σ≈0.3 dex) between their stellar mass and the SFR from z=0 to z=6 (Brinchmann et al. 2004, Noeske et al. 2007, Elbaz et al. 2007, Daddi et al. 2007, Santini et al. 2009, Salim et al. 2007, Strak et al. 2009, Gonzalez et al. 2011) Z≈0 Rodighiero et al. (2011) Elbaz et al. (2011) Elbaz et al. (2011) • Disk-like systems • Extended SF • Large gas depletion time scale (2 Gyr) “Main sequence” galaxies • Interacting systems • SF in the nuclear region • low gas depletion time scale (10-few Myr) Starburst galaxies

The contribution of MS and SB galaxies to the cosmic SFRD 1.5<z<2.5 Quiescent SF Burst-like SF Rodighiero et al. (2011) The interaction-driven scenario for the starburst galaxies is consistent with the observational constraints indicating that starburst galaxies contribute for ≈ 10% of the cosmic SFRD at 1.5<z<2.5 The contribution of the burst-dominated SF systems increases with redshift, rising from 1%-5% at z≈0 to 25%-27% at z=5-6
AGNs in starburst galaxies The fraction of AGN hosted in starburst galaxies is an increasing function of the AGN luminosity
Summary • The interaction-driven scenario for the starburst galaxies is consistent with the observational constraints indicating that starburst galaxies contribute for ≈ 10% of the cosmic SFRD at 1.5<z<2.5. • The interaction-driven model provides strict predictions for the evolution of the starburst contribution to the cosmic SFRD and for the number of AGN hosted in starburst galaxies as a function of the AGN luminosity.
