UIT Astro-2 Observations of NGC 4449

Robert S. Hill, Michael N. Fanelli, Denise A. Smith +2

The bright Magellanic irregular galaxy NGC 4449 was observed by the Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope (UIT) during the Astro-2 Spacelab mission in March, 1995. Far ultraviolet (FUV) im…

Ultraviolet Signatures of Tidal Interaction in the Giant Spiral Galaxy, M101

William H. Waller, Ralph C. Bohlin, Robert H. Cornett +10

We present new evidence for tidal interactions having occurred in the disk of M101 in the last 10^8 - 10^9 years. Recent imaging of the far-ultraviolet emission from M101 by the Sh…

Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope (UIT) Observations of the Small Magellanic Cloud

Robert H. Cornett, Michael R. Greason, Jesse K. Hill +9

A mosaic of four UIT far-UV (FUV; 1620A) images, which covers most of the SMC bar, is presented, with derived stellar and HII region photometry. The UV morphology of the Bar shows…

X-ray Emission from Elliptical Galaxies

Craig L. Sarazin

Elliptical galaxies are generally luminous sources of X-ray radiation, and contain large amounts of hot, interstellar gas. In the brighter X-ray galaxies, the inferred masses of ho…

Cluster Cooling Flows: Recent Progress and Outstanding Questions

Craig L. Sarazin

Recent results on cluster cooling flows are reviewed. Observations of excess soft X-ray provides the only direct evidence for a major repository for the cooled gas. Unfortunately,…

High Resolution X-ray Spectra of Cluster Cooling Flows

Craig L. Sarazin

The cooling cores of clusters of galaxies are among the brightest thermal X-ray line sources in the universe. High resolution X-ray spectra would allow individual line fluxes to be…
