Description
We investigate the properties of starbursts and the influence of galaxy-galaxy interactions on star formation (SF) in a sample of 1341 objects (distances < 40 Mpc). Starbursts present long-lasting SF in circumnuclear regions, which causes an increase of the central stellar density in both interacting and non-interacting systems, and similar gas fractions as normal galaxies. Mergers cause a moderate enhancement of the SF efficiency.
