The GALEX Time Domain Survey I. Selection and Classification of Over a Thousand UV Variable Sources

S. Gezari, D. C. Martin, K. Forster +15

We present the selection and classification of over a thousand ultraviolet (UV) variable sources discovered in ~ 40 deg^2 of GALEX Time Domain Survey (TDS) NUV images observed with…

The Recent Star Formation in NGC 6822: an Ultraviolet Study

Boryana V. Efremova, Luciana Bianchi, David A. Thilker +15

We characterize the star formation in the low-metallicity galaxy NGC 6822 over the past few hundred million years, using GALEX far-UV (FUV, 1344-1786 A) and near-UV (NUV, 1771-2831…

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…

IC 3418: Star Formation in a Turbulent Wake

Janice A. Hester, Mark Seibert, James D. Neill +6

Galaxy Evolution Explorer observations of IC 3418, a low surface brightness galaxy in the Virgo Cluster, revealed a striking 17 kpc UV tail of bright knots and diffuse emission. H…

Mid-Infrared Spectral Measures of Star-Formation and AGN Activity in Normal Galaxies

Marie Treyer, D. Schiminovich, B. D. Johnson +8

We investigate the use of MIR PAH bands, continuum and emission lines as probes of star-formation and AGN activity in a sample of 100 'normal' and local (z~0.1) emission-line galax…

Mid-Infrared Spectral Indicators of Star-Formation and AGN Activity in Normal Galaxies

Marie Treyer, Ben Johnson, David Schiminovich +1

We investigate the use of mid-infrared PAH bands, continuum and emission lines as probes of star-formation and AGN activity in a sample of 100 `normal' and local (z~0.1) galaxies.…
