The Properties of Ultraviolet-Luminous Galaxies at the Current Epoch

Timothy M. Heckman, Charles G. Hoopes, Mark Seibert +23

We have used the first matched set of GALEX and SDSS data to investigate the properties of a sample of 74 nearby galaxies with far-ultraviolet luminosities chosen to overlap the lu…

The GALEX-VVDS Measurement of the Evolution of the Far-Ultraviolet Luminosity Density and the Cosmic Star Formation Rate

D. Schiminovich, O. Ilbert, S. Arnouts +10

In a companion paper (Arnouts et al. 2004) we presented new measurements of the galaxy luminosity function at 1500 Angstroms out to z~1 using GALEX-VVDS observations (1039 galaxies…

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…

Classification and Characterization of Objects from GALEX and SDSS surveys

Luciana Bianchi, M. Seibert, W. Zheng +22

We use the GALEX (Galaxy Evolution Explorer) Medium Imaging Survey (MIS) and All-Sky Imaging Survey (AIS) data available in the first internal release, matched to the SDSS catalogs…

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 Emission from Stellar Populations within Tidal Tails: Catching the Youngest Galaxies in Formation?

S. G. Neff, D. A. Thilker, M. Seibert +22

New GALEX observations have detected significant FUV (1530 Angstroms) and NUV (2310 Angstroms) emission from stellar substructures within the tidal tails of four ongoing galaxy mer…
