An Atlas of GALEX UV Images of Interacting Galaxies
Mark L. Giroux, Beverly J. Smith, Curtis Struck +2
We present GALEX ultraviolet images from a survey of strongly interacting galaxy pairs, and compare with images at other wavelengths. The tidal features are particularly striking i…
Tidal Dwarf Galaxies, Accretion Tails, and `Beads on a String' in the `Spirals, Bridges, and Tails' Interacting Galaxy Survey
Beverly J. Smith, Mark L. Giroux, Curtis Struck +2
We have used the GALEX ultraviolet telescope to study stellar populations and star formation morphology in a well-defined sample of more than three dozen nearby optically-selected…
The Automatic Galaxy Collision Software
Beverly J. Smith, Chris Carver, Phillip Pfeiffer +10
The key to understanding the physical processes that occur during galaxy interactions is dynamical modeling, and especially the detailed matching of numerical models to specific sy…
Candidate Tidal Dwarf Galaxies in Arp 305: Lessons on Dwarf Detachment and Globular Cluster Formation
Mark Hancock, Beverly J. Smith, Curtis Struck +2
To search for Tidal Dwarf Galaxies (TDGs) and to study star formation in tidal features, we are conducting a large UV imaging survey of interacting galaxies selected from the Arp (…
Modeling Forbidden Line Emission Profiles from Colliding Wind Binaries
R Ignace, R Bessey, C S Price
This paper presents calculations for forbidden emission line profile shapes arising from colliding wind binaries. The main application is for systems involving a Wolf-Rayet (WR) st…
Discovery of X-ray Emission from the Wolf-Rayet star WR142 of oxygen subtype
L. M. Oskinova, W. -R. Hamann, A. Feldmeier +2
We report the discovery of weak yet hard X-ray emission from the Wolf-Rayet (WR) star WR142 with the XMM-Newton X-ray telescope. Being of spectral subtype WO2, WR142 is a massive s…
