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…

Diffuse UV light associated with the Spiderweb Galaxy: evidence for in-situ star formation outside galaxies

N. A. Hatch, R. A. Overzier, H. J. A. Röttgering +2

We present detailed images of diffuse UV intergalactic light (IGL), situated in a 60kpc halo that surrounds the radio galaxy MRC 1138-262 at z=2. We discuss the nature of the IGL a…

HST morphologies of local Lyman break galaxy analogs I: Evidence for starbursts triggered by merging

Roderik A. Overzier, Timothy M. Heckman, Guinevere Kauffmann +10

Heckman et al. (2005) used the Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) UV imaging survey to show that there exists a rare population of nearby compact UV-luminous galaxies (UVLGs) that c…

The Young and the Dustless: Interpreting Radio Observations of UltraViolet Luminous Galaxies

Antara R. Basu-Zych, David Schiminovich, Benjamin D. Johnson +23

Ultraviolet Luminous Galaxies (UVLGs) have been identified as intensely star-forming, nearby galaxies. A subset of these, the supercompact UVLGs, are believed to be local analogs o…

Feedback in the local LBG Analog Haro 11 as probed by far-UV and X-ray observations

J. P. Grimes, T. Heckman, D. Strickland +6

We have re-analyzed FUSE data and obtained new Chandra observations of Haro 11, a local (D_L=88 Mpc) UV luminous galaxy. Haro 11 has a similar far-UV luminosity (10^10.3 L_\odot),…
