A Search for Extended Ultraviolet Disk (XUV-disk) Galaxies in the Local Universe
David A. Thilker, Luciana Bianchi, Gerhardt Meurer +26
We have initiated a search for extended ultraviolet disk (XUV-disk) galaxies in the local universe. Herein, we compare GALEX UV and visible--NIR images of 189 nearby (D40 Mpc) S…
The stellar mass assembly of galaxies from z=0 to z=4. Analysis of a sample selected in the rest-frame near-infrared with Spitzer
Pablo G. Perez-Gonzalez, George H. Rieke, Victor Villar +8
Using a sample of ~28,000 sources selected at 3.6-4.5 microns with Spitzer observations of the HDF-N, the CDF-S, and the Lockman Hole (surveyed area: ~664 arcmin^2), we study the e…
The Curious Case of NGC6908
B. F. Madore, A. Gil de Paz, O. Pevunova +1
The object NGC6908 was once thought to be simply a surface-brightness enhancement in the eastern spiral arm of the nearby spiral galaxy NGC6907. Based on an examination of near-inf…
Chemical and Photometric Evolution of Extended Ultraviolet Disks: Optical Spectroscopy of M83 (NGC5236) and NGC4625
A. Gil de Paz, B. F. Madore, S. Boissier +21
We present the results from the analysis of optical spectra of 31 Halpha-selected regions in the extended UV (XUV) disks of M83 (NGC5236) and NGC4625 recently discovered by GALEX.…
Adaptive Optics Imaging of IRAS 18276-1431: a bipolar pre-planetary nebula with circumstellar "searchlight beams" and "arcs"
C. Sanchez Contreras, D. Le Mignant, R. Sahai +2
We present high-angular resolution images of the post-AGB nebula IRAS18276-1431 (also known as OH17.7-2.0) obtained with the Keck II Adaptive Optics (AO) system in its Natural Guid…
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…
