Ultraviolet Detection of the Tidal Disruption of a Star by a Supermassive Black Hole
S. Gezari, D. C. Martin, B. Milliard +10
A supermassive black hole in the nucleus of a galaxy will be revealed when a star passes close enough to be torn apart by tidal forces and a flare of radiation is emitted by the st…
Statistical Properties of the GALEX/SDSS matched source catalogs, and classification of the UV sources
Luciana Bianchi, Lino Rodriguez-Merino, Maurice Viton +30
We use the Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) Medium and All-Sky-Imaging Survey (MIS & AIS) data from the first public data release (GR1), matched to the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (S…
The Local Universe as Seen in Far-Infrared and in Far-Ultraviolet: A Global Point of View on the Local Recent Star Formation
V. Buat, T. T. Takeuchi, J. Iglesias-Paramo +23
We select far-infrared (FIR-60 microns) and far-ultraviolet (FUV-1530 A) samples of nearby galaxies in order to discuss the biases encountered by monochromatic surveys (FIR or FUV)…
Suppression of star formation in early-type galaxies by feedback from supermassive black holes
Kevin Schawinski, Sadegh Khochfar, Sugata Kaviraj +21
Detailed high-resolution observations of the innermost regions of nearby galaxies have revealed the presence of supermassive black holes1. These black holes may interact with their…
The GALEX Ultraviolet Atlas of Nearby Galaxies
A. Gil de Paz, S. Boissier, B. F. Madore +23
We present images, integrated photometry, surface-brightness and color profiles for a total of 1034 nearby galaxies recently observed by the GALEX satellite in its far-ultraviolet…
The effect of environment on the UV colour-magnitude relation of early-type galaxies
K. Schawinski, S. Kaviraj, S. Khochfar +23
We use \textit{GALEX} (Galaxy Evolution Explorer) near-UV (NUV) photometry of a sample of early-type galaxies selected in \textit{SDSS} (Sloan Digital Sky Survey) to study the UV c…
