The nearby universe observed in far-infrared and in ultraviolet: an analysis of the dust attenuation and the star formation activity
V. Buat
We discuss the dust attenuation and the star formation rates in the nearby universe obtained from a comparison of far-infrared (IRAS) and ultraviolet (GALEX) observations. The rati…
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…
Panoramic GALEX FUV and NUV imaging of M31 and M33
D. A. Thilker, C. G. Hoopes, L. Bianchi +25
We present Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) far-UV and near-UV mosaic observations covering the entirety of M31 and M33. For both targets, we measure the decline of surface bright…
The Star Formation Rate Function of the Local Universe
D. Christopher Martin, Mark Seibert, Veronique Buat +22
We have derived the bivariate luminosity function for the far ultraviolet (1530Angstroms) and far infrared (60 microns). We used matched GALEX and IRAS data, and redshifts from NED…
Mid-infrared luminosity as an indicator of the total infrared luminosity of galaxies
T. T. Takeuchi, V. Buat, J. Iglesias-Paramo +2
The infrared (IR) emission plays a crucial role for understanding the star formation in galaxies hidden by dust. We first examined four estimators of the IR luminosity of galaxies,…
The radial extinction profiles of late-type galaxies
S. Boissier, A. Boselli, V. Buat +2
We have used UV (FOCA) and FIR (IRAS) images of six nearby late type galaxies to study the radial variation of the UV extinction (deduced from the FIR/UV ratio). We compare the UV…
