STAR POWER. “In intermediate luminosity galaxies…the most intense knots of star-formation activity, from which most of the luminosity of the system emerges, are not coincident with either nucleus of the merging galaxies, but occur in a deeply dust-enshrouded overlap region of the ISM of the galaxies. This provides a strong argument that almost all of the energy in this system is being generated by star formation rather than an AGN.” (ISM = interstellar media; AGN = active galactic nuclei).
