Abstract

Context.Small star-forming galaxies made out of collisional debris have been found in a variety of merging systems. So far only a few of them are known in Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies (ULIRGs) although they show clear signs of interactions. Whether external star formation may take place in such objects in an open question.
