Star Formation and the Interstellar Medium In Nearby Tidal Streams (SAINTS): Spitzer Mid-infrared Spectroscopy and Imaging of Intergalactic Star-forming Objects

S. J. U. Higdon, J. L. Higdon, B. J. Smith +1

A spectroscopic analysis of 10 intergalactic star forming objects (ISFOs) and a photometric analysis of 67 ISFOs in a sample of 14 interacting systems is presented. The majority of…

Spirals, Bridges, and Tails: A GALEX UV Atlas of Interacting Galaxies

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 42 nearby optically-selected pre-merger interact…

Star Formation and the Interstellar Medium in Nearby Tidal Streams (SAINTS)

S. J. U. Higdon, J. L. Higdon, B. J. Smith +2

We compare Spitzer Infrared Spectrograph observations of SQ-A & SQ-B in Stephan's Quintet, Ambartzumian's knot in Arp 105, Arp 242-N3, Arp 87-N1, a bridge star forming region, NGC…

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…
