NGC 404, A Rejuvenated Lenticular Galaxy on a Merger-Induced, Blueward Excursion into the Green Valley
David A. Thilker, Luciana Bianchi, David Schiminovich +14
We have discovered recent star formation in the outermost portion (1-4x R_25) of the nearby lenticular (S0) galaxy NGC 404 using GALEX UV imaging. FUV-bright sources are strongly c…
Suppression of star formation in early-type galaxies by feedback from supermassive black holes
Kevin Schawinski, Sadegh Khochfar, Sugata Kaviraj +21
Detailed high-resolution observations of the innermost regions of nearby galaxies have revealed the presence of supermassive black holes1. These black holes may interact with their…
The Young and the Dustless: Interpreting Radio Observations of UltraViolet Luminous Galaxies
Antara R. Basu-Zych, David Schiminovich, Benjamin D. Johnson +23
Ultraviolet Luminous Galaxies (UVLGs) have been identified as intensely star-forming, nearby galaxies. A subset of these, the supercompact UVLGs, are believed to be local analogs o…
The Calibration and Data Products of the Galaxy Evolution Explorer
Patrick Morrissey, Tim Conrow, Tom A. Barlow +20
We describe the calibration status and data products pertaining to the GR2 and GR3 data releases of the Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX). These releases have identical pipeline ca…
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…
The AllWISE Motion Survey and The Quest for Cold Subdwarfs
J. Davy Kirkpatrick, Adam Schneider, Sergio Fajardo-Acosta +23
The AllWISE processing pipeline has measured motions for all objects detected on WISE images taken between 2010 January and 2011 February. In this paper, we discuss new capabilitie…
