Project Lyman: Quantifying 11 Gyrs of Metagalactic Ionizing Background Evolution

Stephan R. McCandliss, B-G Andersson, Nils Bergvall +23

The timing and duration of the reionization epoch is crucial to the emergence and evolution of structure in the universe. The relative roles that star-forming galaxies, active gala…

The Extreme Hosts of Extreme Supernovae

James D. Neill, Mark Sullivan, Avishay Gal-Yam +22

We use GALEX ultraviolet (UV) and optical integrated photometry of the hosts of seventeen luminous supernovae (LSNe, having peak M_V < -21) and compare them to a sample of 26,000 g…

The UV-Optical Color Dependence of Galaxy Clustering in the Local Universe

Yeong-Shang Loh, R. Michael Rich, Sébastien Heinis +22

We measure the UV-optical color dependence of galaxy clustering in the local universe. Using the clean separation of the red and blue sequences made possible by the NUV - r color-m…

NGC 404, A Rejuvenated Lenticular Galaxy on a Merger-Induced, Blueward Excursion into the Green Valley

David A. Thilker, Luciana Bianchi, David Schiminovich +14

We have discovered recent star formation in the outermost portion (1-4x R_25) of the nearby lenticular (S0) galaxy NGC 404 using GALEX UV imaging. FUV-bright sources are strongly c…

The Local Hosts of Type Ia Supernovae

James D. Neill, Mark Sullivan, D. Andy Howell +18

We use multi-wavelength, matched aperture, integrated photometry from GALEX, SDSS and the RC3 to estimate the physical properties of 166 nearby galaxies hosting 168 well-observed T…

Probing the Intermediate-Age Globular Clusters in NGC 5128 from Ultraviolet Observations

Soo-Chang Rey, Sangmo T. Sohn, Michael A. Beasley +23

We explore the age distribution of the globular cluster (GC) system of the nearby elliptical galaxy NGC 5128 using ultraviolet (UV) photometry from Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX…
