GALEX Ultraviolet Photometry of Globular Clusters in M31: Three Year Results and a Catalog

Soo-Chang Rey, R. Michael Rich, Sangmo T. Sohn +23

We present ultraviolet (UV) photometry of M31 globular clusters (GCs) found in 23 Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) images covering the entirety of M31. We detect 485 and 273 GCs (…

Ongoing Formation of Bulges and Black Holes in the Local Universe: New Insights from GALEX

Guinevere Kauffmann, Timothy M. Heckman, Tamas Budavari +21

We analyze a volume-limited sample of massive bulge-dominated galaxies with data from both the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and the Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) satellite. The gal…

Radial variation of attenuation and star formation in the largest late-type disks observed with GALEX

Samuel Boissier, Armando Gil de Paz, Alessandro Boselli +24

For a sample of 43 nearby, late-type galaxies, we have investigated the radial variation of both the current star formation rate and the dust-induced UV light attenuation. To do th…

The Diverse Properties of the Most Ultraviolet Luminous Galaxies Discovered by the Galaxy Evolution Explorer

Charles G. Hoopes, Timothy M. Heckman, Samir Salim +21

We report on the properties of a sample of ultraviolet luminous galaxies (UVLGs) selected by matching the Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) Surveys with the Sloan Digital Sky Surve…

GALEX UV Color Relations for Nearby Early-Type Galaxies

Jose Donas, Jean-Michel Deharveng, R. Michael Rich +23

We use GALEX/optical photometry to construct color-color relationships for early-type galaxies sorted by morphological type. We have matched objects in the GALEX GR1 public release…
