The UV-Optical Color Magnitude Diagram II: Physical Properties and Morphological Evolution On and Off of a Star-Forming Sequence

David Schiminovich, Ted K. Wyder, D. Christopher Martin +23

We use the UV-optical color magnitude diagram in combination with spectroscopic and photometric measurements derived from the SDSS spectroscopic sample to measure the distribution…

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),…

Ongoing Formation of Bulges and Black Holes in the Local Universe: New Insights from GALEX

Guinevere Kauffmann, Timothy M. Heckman, Tamas Budavari +21

We analyze a volume-limited sample of massive bulge-dominated galaxies with data from both the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and the Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) satellite. The gal…

The Diverse Properties of the Most Ultraviolet Luminous Galaxies Discovered by the Galaxy Evolution Explorer

Charles G. Hoopes, Timothy M. Heckman, Samir Salim +21

We report on the properties of a sample of ultraviolet luminous galaxies (UVLGs) selected by matching the Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) Surveys with the Sloan Digital Sky Surve…
