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…
Star Cluster Dissolution in Arp 284
Bradley W. Peterson, Curtis Struck, Beverly J. Smith +1
We present results from a study of proto-globular cluster candidates in the interacting galaxy system Arp 284 (NGC 7714/5). Studies of the Antennae and M51 have suggested that the…
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…
Dwarf Detachment and Globular Cluster Formation in Arp 305
M. Hancock, B. J. Smith, C. Struck +2
Tidal Dwarf Galaxies (TDG), concentrations of interstellar gas and stars in the tidal features of interacting galaxies, have been the subject of much scrutiny. The `smoking gun' th…
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 (…
An Assessment of Broadband Optical Colours as Age Indicators for Star Clusters
M. Hancock, B. J. Smith, M. L. Giroux +1
We present an empirical assessment of the use of broadband optical colours as age indicators for unresolved extragalactic clusters and investigate stochastic sampling effects on in…
