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…
Suppression of star formation in early-type galaxies by feedback from supermassive black holes
Kevin Schawinski, Sadegh Khochfar, Sugata Kaviraj +21
Detailed high-resolution observations of the innermost regions of nearby galaxies have revealed the presence of supermassive black holes1. These black holes may interact with their…
The GALEX Ultraviolet Atlas of Nearby Galaxies
A. Gil de Paz, S. Boissier, B. F. Madore +23
We present images, integrated photometry, surface-brightness and color profiles for a total of 1034 nearby galaxies recently observed by the GALEX satellite in its far-ultraviolet…
Dissecting Galaxy Colors with GALEX, SDSS, and Spitzer
B. D. Johnson, D. Schiminovich, M. Seibert +21
We combine data from SDSS and the GALEX and Spitzer observatories to create a sample of galaxies observed homogeneously from the UV to the Far-IR. This sample, consisting of ~460 g…
The effect of environment on the UV colour-magnitude relation of early-type galaxies
K. Schawinski, S. Kaviraj, S. Khochfar +23
We use \textit{GALEX} (Galaxy Evolution Explorer) near-UV (NUV) photometry of a sample of early-type galaxies selected in \textit{SDSS} (Sloan Digital Sky Survey) to study the UV c…
UV-optical colours as probes of early-type galaxy evolution
S. Kaviraj, K. Schawinski, J. E. G. Devriendt +25
We have studied ~2100 early-type galaxies in the SDSS DR3 which have been detected by the GALEX Medium Imaging Survey (MIS), in the redshift range 0 < z < 0.11. Combining GALEX UV…
