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 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…
Dust attenuation in the nearby Universe: comparison between galaxies selected in the ultraviolet or in the infrared
V. Buat, J. Iglesias-Paramo, M. Seibert +27
We compare the dust attenuation properties of two samples of galaxies purely selected in the near-ultraviolet (NUV) band (1750-2750 A, lambda_m = 2310 A) and in the far-infrared (F…
UV emission and Star Formation in Stephan's Quintet
C. Kevin Xu, Jorge Iglesias-Paramo, Denis Burgarella +22
we present the first GALEX UV images of the well known interacting group of galaxies, Stephan's Quintet (SQ). We detect widespread UV emission throughout the group. However, there…
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…
