On the nature of the extragalactic number counts in the K-band
G. Barro, J. Gallego, P. G. Pérez-González +10
We investigate the causes of the different shape of the -band number counts when compared to other bands, analyzing in detail the presence of a change in the slope around $K\sim…
GALEX observations of Low Surface Brightness Galaxies: UV color and star formation efficiency
S. Boissier, A. Gil de Paz, A. Boselli +7
We present GALEX UV observations of a sample of Low Surface Brightness (LSB) galaxies for which HI data are available, allowing us to estimate their star formation efficiency. We f…
Extended UV (XUV) Emission in Nearby Galaxy Disks
A. Gil de Paz, D. A. Thilker, L. Bianchi +19
We summarize the main properties of the extended UV (XUV) emission found in roughly 30% of the nearby spiral galaxies observed by the GALEX satellite. Two different classes of XUV…
Spontaneous and Stimulated Star Formation in Galaxies
Barry F. Madore, Samuel Boissier, Armando Gil de Paz +2
We present recent results from several on-going studies: The first addresses the question of gas-density thresholds for star formation, as probed by the outer disks of normal nearb…
