Scientific paper

Using a code to calculate models of evolving galaxies, the thermal and nonthermal radio continuum radiation of galaxy models is computed with a very simple concept for the origin of this radiation; i.e., H II regions and supernova remnants. A comparison with real galaxies suggests that many galaxies experience bursts of star formation, since a model with a burst of star formation superimposed describes successfully the populated regions in the diagram of (B-V) versus (radio flux density/blue light). For all models the following quantities are also given for reference: colors, gas fraction, luminosities, enrichment in elements of primary and secondary nucleosynthesis, abundances of deuterium, Lyman continuum photons per second, thermal and nonthermal radio flux, and the supernova rate.
