Millimeter characteristics of Galactic and extragalactic starbursts

The goal of the thesis was to compare Galactic and extragalactic star-forming environments, to understand whether we can derive scaling relations for the extragalactic star formation from our understanding of the Galactic star formation; and to analyze the effect of the angular resolution of the obs...
