GALEX Ultraviolet Photometry of Globular Clusters in M31: Three Year Results and a Catalog
Soo-Chang Rey, R. Michael Rich, Sangmo T. Sohn +23
We present ultraviolet (UV) photometry of M31 globular clusters (GCs) found in 23 Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) images covering the entirety of M31. We detect 485 and 273 GCs (…
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)…
Ongoing Formation of Bulges and Black Holes in the Local Universe: New Insights from GALEX
Guinevere Kauffmann, Timothy M. Heckman, Tamas Budavari +21
We analyze a volume-limited sample of massive bulge-dominated galaxies with data from both the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and the Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) satellite. The gal…
Radial variation of attenuation and star formation in the largest late-type disks observed with GALEX
Samuel Boissier, Armando Gil de Paz, Alessandro Boselli +24
For a sample of 43 nearby, late-type galaxies, we have investigated the radial variation of both the current star formation rate and the dust-induced UV light attenuation. To do th…
The Diverse Properties of the Most Ultraviolet Luminous Galaxies Discovered by the Galaxy Evolution Explorer
Charles G. Hoopes, Timothy M. Heckman, Samir Salim +21
We report on the properties of a sample of ultraviolet luminous galaxies (UVLGs) selected by matching the Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) Surveys with the Sloan Digital Sky Surve…
GALEX UV Color Relations for Nearby Early-Type Galaxies
Jose Donas, Jean-Michel Deharveng, R. Michael Rich +23
We use GALEX/optical photometry to construct color-color relationships for early-type galaxies sorted by morphological type. We have matched objects in the GALEX GR1 public release…
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…
Dissecting Galaxy Colors with GALEX, SDSS, and Spitzer
B. D. Johnson, D. Schiminovich, M. Seibert +21
We combine data from SDSS and the GALEX and Spitzer observatories to create a sample of galaxies observed homogeneously from the UV to the Far-IR. This sample, consisting of ~460 g…
The detection of M-dwarf UV flare events in the GALEX data archives
Barry Y. Welsh, Jonathan M. Wheatley, Mark Seibert +13
We present the preliminary results from implementing a new software tool that enables inspection of time-tagged photon data for the astronomical sources contained within individual…
Minkowski's Object: A Starburst Triggered by a Radio Jet, Revisited
Steve Croft, Wil van Breugel, Wim de Vries +8
We present neutral hydrogen, ultraviolet, optical and near-infrared imaging, and optical spectroscopy, of Minkowski's Object (MO), a star forming peculiar galaxy near NGC 541. The…
UV and FIR selected star-forming galaxies at z=0: differences and overlaps
C. Kevin Xu, Veronique Buat, Jorge Iglesias-Páramo +22
We study two samples of local galaxies, one is UV (GALEX) selected and the other FIR (IRAS) selected, to address the question whether UV and FIR surveys see the two sides ('bright'…
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…
Star formation in the nearby universe: the ultraviolet and infrared points of view
J. Iglesias-Paramo, V. Buat, T. T. Takeuchi +27
This work presents the main ultraviolet (UV) and far-infrared (FIR) properties of two samples of nearby galaxies selected from the GALEX (Å, hereafter NUV) and IRAS ($λ= 6…
UV-optical colours as probes of early-type galaxy evolution
S. Kaviraj, K. Schawinski, J. E. G. Devriendt +25
We have studied ~2100 early-type galaxies in the SDSS DR3 which have been detected by the GALEX Medium Imaging Survey (MIS), in the redshift range 0 < z < 0.11. Combining GALEX UV…
