The Luminous Starburst Ring in NGC 7771: Sequential Star Formation?
Denise A. Smith, Terry Herter, Martha P. Haynes +1
Only two of the twenty highly luminous starburst galaxies analyzed by Smith et al. exhibit circumnuclear rings of star formation. These galaxies provide a link between 10^11 L_sun…
Far-Ultraviolet Color Gradients in Early-Type Galaxies
R. G. Ohl, R. W. O'Connell, R. C. Bohlin +7
We discuss far-UV (1500 A) surface photometry and FUV-B color profiles for 8 E/S0 galaxies from images taken with the Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope, primarily during the Astro-2 mi…
Ultraviolet Imaging of the Irregular Galaxy NGC 4449 with UIT: Photometry and Recent Star-Formation History
Robert S. Hill, Michael N. Fanelli, Denise A. Smith +6
The bright Magellanic irregular galaxy NGC 4449 was observed during the Astro-2 Space Shuttle mission by the Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope (UIT), which obtained images of a ~40 arc…
Ultraviolet Imaging of the z=0.23 Cluster Abell 2246
Robert H. Cornett, Ben Dorman, Eric P. Smith +8
We present deep ultraviolet observations of a field containing the cluster Abell 2246 (z=0.225) which provide far-ultraviolet (FUV) images of some of the faintest galaxies yet obse…
The Hot Stars of Old Open Clusters: M67, NGC 188 and NGC6791
W. Landsman, R. C. Bohlin, S. G. Neff +4
We analyze ultraviolet (~1500 A) images of the old open clusters M67, NGC 188, and NGC 6791 obtained with Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope (UIT) during the second flight of the Astro…
