Measuring Dust Attenuation Curves of SINGS/KINGFISH Galaxies Using Swift/UVOT Photometry
Alexander Belles, Marjorie Decleir, William P. Bowman +3
We present Swift/Ultraviolet Optical Telescope (UVOT) integrated light photometry of the Spitzer Infrared Nearby Galaxies Survey (SINGS) and the Key Insights on Nearby Galaxies: A…
The Quest for the Missing Dust: II -- Two Orders of Magnitude of Evolution in the Dust-to-Gas Ratio Resolved Within Local Group Galaxies
Christopher J. R. Clark, Julia C. Roman-Duval, Karl D. Gordon +3
We explore evolution in the dust-to-gas ratio with density within four well-resolved Local Group galaxies - the LMC, SMC, M31, and M33. We do this using new maps,…
METAL: The Metal Evolution, Transport, and Abundance in the Large Magellanic Cloud Hubble program. II. Variations of interstellar depletions and dust-to-gas ratio within the LMC
Julia Roman-Duval, Edward B. Jenkins, Kirill Tchernyshyov +9
A key component of the baryon cycle in galaxies is the depletion of metals from the gas to the dust phase in the neutral ISM. The METAL (Metal Evolution, Transport and Abundance in…
The Panchromatic Hubble Andromeda Treasury: Triangulum Extended Region (PHATTER) I. Ultraviolet to Infrared Photometry of 22 Million Stars in M33
Benjamin F. Williams, Meredith J. Durbin, Julianne J. Dalcanton +18
We present panchromatic resolved stellar photometry for 22 million stars in the Local Group dwarf spiral Triangulum (M33), derived from Hubble Space Telescope (HST) observations wi…
The Swift/UVOT Stars Survey. III. Photometry and Color-Magnitude Diagrams of 103 Galactic Open Clusters
Michael H. Siegel, Samuel J. Laporte, Blair L. Porterfield +2
As part of the Swift/UVOT Stars Survey, we present near-ultraviolet point-source photometry for 103 Galactic open clusters. These data, taken over the span of the mission, provide…
Interstellar Dust Grains: Ultraviolet and Mid-IR Extinction Curves
Karl D. Gordon, Karl Misselt, Yvonne Pendleton +7
Interstellar dust plays a central role in shaping the detailed structure of the interstellar medium, thus strongly influencing star formation and galaxy evolution. Dust extinction…
METAL: The Metal Evolution, Transport, and Abundance in the Large Magellanic Cloud Hubble program. I. Overview and Initial Results
Julia Roman-Duval, Edward B. Jenkins, Benjamin Williams +8
Metal Evolution, Transport, and Abundance in the LMC (METAL) is a large Cycle 24 program on the Hubble Space Telescope aimed at measuring dust extinction properties and interstella…
Towards Space-like Photometric Precision from the Ground with Beam-Shaping Diffusers
Gudmundur Stefansson, Suvrath Mahadevan, Leslie Hebb +21
We demonstrate a path to hitherto unachievable differential photometric precisions from the ground, both in the optical and near-infrared (NIR), using custom-fabricated beam-shapin…
Swift Ultraviolet Survey of the Magellanic Clouds (SUMaC). I. Shape of the Ultraviolet Dust Extinction Law and Recent Star Formation History of the Small Magellanic Cloud
Lea M. Z. Hagen, Michael H. Siegel, Erik A. Hoversten +3
We present the first results from the Swift Ultraviolet Survey of the Magellanic Clouds (SUMaC), the highest resolution ultraviolet (UV) survey of the Magellanic Clouds yet complet…
On the Classification of UGC1382 as a Giant Low Surface Brightness Galaxy
Lea M. Z. Hagen, Mark Seibert, Alex Hagen +6
We provide evidence that UGC1382, long believed to be a passive elliptical galaxy, is actually a giant low surface brightness (GLSB) galaxy which rivals the archetypical GLSB Malin…
The Swift/UVOT Stars Survey. II. RR Lyrae Stars in M 3 and M 15
Michael H. Siegel, Blair L. Porterfield, Benjamin G. Balzer +1
We present the first results of an near-ultraviolet (NUV) survey of RR Lyrae stars from the Ultraviolet Optical Telescope (UVOT) aboard the Swift Gamma-Ray Burst Mission. It is wel…
The Evolution of the Far-UV Luminosity Function and Star Formation Rate Density of the Chandra Deep Field South from z=0.2-1.2 with Swift/UVOT
Lea M. Z. Hagen, Erik A. Hoversten, Caryl Gronwall +4
We use deep Swift UV/Optical Telescope (UVOT) near-ultraviolet (1600A to 4000A) imaging of the Chandra Deep Field South to measure the rest-frame far-UV (FUV; 1500A) luminosity fun…
UVOT Measurements of Dust and Star Formation in the SMC and M33
Lea M. Z. Hagen, Michael H. Siegel, Caryl A. Gronwall +3
When measuring star formation rates using ultraviolet light, correcting for dust extinction is a critical step. However, with the variety of dust extinction curves to choose from,…
Swift, UVOT and Hot Stars
Michael H. Siegel, Caryl A. Gronwall, Lea M. Z. Hagen +1
We present the results of our ongoing investigation into the properties of hot stars and young stellar populations using the Swift/UVOT telescope. We present UVOT photometry of ope…
Massive star formation in galaxies with excess UV emission
Santiago Erroz-Ferrer, Johan H. Knapen, Elena A. N. Mohd Noh Velastín +2
From an analysis of almost 2000 GALEX images of galaxies with morphological types ranging from E to Sab, we have found a significant subset (28%) that show UV emission outside $R_{…
