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 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…

Tidal Dwarf Galaxies around a Post-merger Galaxy, NGC 4922

Yun-Kyeong Sheen, Hyunjin Jeong, Sukyoung K. Yi +20

One possible channel for the formation of dwarf galaxies involves birth in the tidal tails of interacting galaxies. We report the detection of a bright UV tidal tail and several yo…
