The Curious Case of NGC6908
B. F. Madore, A. Gil de Paz, O. Pevunova +1
The object NGC6908 was once thought to be simply a surface-brightness enhancement in the eastern spiral arm of the nearby spiral galaxy NGC6907. Based on an examination of near-inf…
The Look-back Time Evolution of Far-Ultraviolet Flux from the Brightest Cluster Elliptical Galaxies at z < 0.2
Chang H. Ree, Young-Wook Lee, Sukyoung K. Yi +28
We present the GALEX UV photometry of the elliptical galaxies in Abell clusters at moderate redshifts (z < 0.2) for the study of the look-back time evolution of the UV upturn pheno…
Extinction radial profiles of M83 from GALEX UV imaging
S. Boissier, A. Gil de Paz, B. F. Madore +24
We use the far-UV (FUV) and near-UV (NUV) images of M83 obtained by GALEX to compute the radial profile of the UV spectral slope in the star forming disk. We briefly present a mode…
New Constraints on the Star Formation Histories and Dust Attenuation of Galaxies in the Local Universe from GALEX
Samir Salim, Stephane Charlot, R. Michael Rich +23
We derive a variety of physical parameters including star formation rates (SFRs), dust attenuation and burst mass fractions for 6472 galaxies observed by the Galaxy Evolution Explo…
UV Morphology and Star Formation in the Tidal Tails of NGC 4038/39
J. E. Hibbard, L. Bianchi, D. A. Thilker +2
We present GALEX FUV (1530 A) and NUV (2310 A) observations of the archetypal merging system NGC 4038/39, ``The Antennae". Both tails are relatively bright in the UV, especially in…
GALEX Observations of the Ultraviolet Halos of NGC 253 and M82
C. G. Hoopes, T. M. Heckman, D. K. Strickland +25
We present Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) images of the prototypical edge-on starburst galaxies M82 and NGC253. Our initial analysis is restricted to the complex of ultraviolet…
