Recent star formation in nearby galaxies from GALEX imaging:M101 and M51
Luciana Bianchi, D. Thilker, D. Burgarella +24
The GALEX (Galaxy Evolution Explorer) Nearby Galaxies Survey is providing deep far-UV and near-UV imaging for a representative sample of galaxies in the local universe. We present…
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…
UV Emission from Stellar Populations within Tidal Tails: Catching the Youngest Galaxies in Formation?
S. G. Neff, D. A. Thilker, M. Seibert +22
New GALEX observations have detected significant FUV (1530 Angstroms) and NUV (2310 Angstroms) emission from stellar substructures within the tidal tails of four ongoing galaxy mer…
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…
Recent Star Formation in the Extreme Outer Disk of M83
D. A. Thilker, L. Bianchi, S. Boissier +24
Ultraviolet imaging with the Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) has revealed an extensive sample of UV-bright stellar complexes in the extreme outer disk of M83, extending to about…
GALEX UV Spectroscopy and Deep Imaging of LIRGs in the ELAIS S1 field
D. Burgarella, V. Buat, T. Small +23
The ELAIS S1 field was observed by GALEX in both its Wide Spectroscopic and Deep Imaging Survey modes. This field was previously observed by the Infrared Space Observatory and we m…
