The Local Hosts of Type Ia Supernovae
James D. Neill, Mark Sullivan, D. Andy Howell +18
We use multi-wavelength, matched aperture, integrated photometry from GALEX, SDSS and the RC3 to estimate the physical properties of 166 nearby galaxies hosting 168 well-observed T…
Spatial Clustering from GALEX-SDSS samples: Star Formation History and large-scale clustering
Sebastien Heinis, Tamas Budavari, Alex S. Szalay +19
We measure the projected spatial correlation function w_p(r_p) from a large sample combining GALEX ultraviolet imaging with the SDSS spectroscopic sample. We study the dependence o…
Probing the Intermediate-Age Globular Clusters in NGC 5128 from Ultraviolet Observations
Soo-Chang Rey, Sangmo T. Sohn, Michael A. Beasley +23
We explore the age distribution of the globular cluster (GC) system of the nearby elliptical galaxy NGC 5128 using ultraviolet (UV) photometry from Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX…
The 2017 Failed Outburst of GX 339-4: Relativistic X-ray Reflection near the Black Hole Revealed by NuSTAR and Swift Spectroscopy
Javier A. GarcÃa, John A. Tomsick, Navin Sridhar +12
We report on the spectroscopic analysis of the black hole binary GX 339-4 during its recent 2017-2018 outburst, observed simultaneously by the Swift and NuSTAR observatories. Altho…
The Extreme Hosts of Extreme Supernovae
James D. Neill, Mark Sullivan, Avishay Gal-Yam +22
We use GALEX ultraviolet (UV) and optical integrated photometry of the hosts of seventeen luminous supernovae (LSNe, having peak M_V < -21) and compare them to a sample of 26,000 g…
Tidal Dwarf Galaxies around a Post-merger Galaxy, NGC 4922
Yun-Kyeong Sheen, Hyunjin Jeong, Sukyoung K. Yi +20
One possible channel for the formation of dwarf galaxies involves birth in the tidal tails of interacting galaxies. We report the detection of a bright UV tidal tail and several yo…
