Abstract
We explore the close environment of active star-forming galaxies (ASF) in the 2dF. We find ASF galaxies to be the most likely population to inhabit extremely close pairs located in low density regions. In addition, we find that ASF galaxies in these pairs are almost entirely concentrated in the -20 < M_B < -19 magnitude range.
