Evidence for IMF Variations from the Integrated Light of SDSS Galaxies
Erik A. Hoversten, Karl Glazebrook
The H alpha equivalent width (EW) is the ratio of the H alpha flux to the continuum at 6565Å. In normal star forming galaxies the H alpha flux is dominated by reprocessed photons f…
Faint NUV/FUV Standards from Swift/UVOT, GALEX and SDSS Photometry
Michael H. Siegel, Erik A. Hoversten, Peter W. A. Roming +8
At present, the precision of deep ultraviolet photometry is somewhat limited by the dearth of faint ultraviolet standard stars. In an effort to improve this situation, we present a…
The Absolute Magnitudes of Type Ia Supernovae in the Ultraviolet
Peter J. Brown, Peter W. A. Roming, Peter Milne +19
We examine the absolute magnitudes and light-curve shapes of 14 nearby(redshift z = 0.004--0.027) Type Ia supernovae (SNe~Ia) observed in the ultraviolet (UV) with the Swift Ultrav…
UV+IR Star Formation Rates: Hickson Compact Groups with Swift and Spitzer
P. Tzanavaris, A. E. Hornschemeier, S. C. Gallagher +6
We present Swift UVOT (1600-3000A) 3-band photometry for 41 galaxies in 11 nearby (<4500km/s) Hickson Compact Groups (HCGs) of galaxies. We use the uvw2-band (2000A) to estimate th…
Paper II: Calibration of the Swift ultraviolet/optical telescope
A. A. Breeveld, P. A. Curran, E. A. Hoversten +32
The Ultraviolet/Optical Telescope (UVOT) is one of three instruments onboard the Swift observatory. The photometric calibration has been published, and this paper follows up with d…
