The Current Understanding on the UV Upturn
Sukyoung K. Yi
The unexpected high bump in the UV part of the spectrum found in nearby giant elliptical galaxies, a.k.a. the UV upturn, has been a subject of debate. A remarkable progress has bee…
Supernova Shock Breakout from a Red Supergiant
Kevin Schawinski, Stephen Justham, Christian Wolf +21
Massive stars undergo a violent death when the supply of nuclear fuel in their cores is exhausted, resulting in a catastrophic "core-collapse" supernova. Such events are usually on…
A cgi synthetic CMD calculator for the YY Isochrones
P. Demarque, S. N. Virani, E. J. Murphy +3
We describe a web-based cgi calculator for constructing synthetic color-magnitude diagrams for a simple stellar population (SSP) using the Yonsei-Yale (YY) isochrone data base. Thi…
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…
