The Properties of Ultraviolet-Luminous Galaxies at the Current Epoch
Timothy M. Heckman, Charles G. Hoopes, Mark Seibert +23
We have used the first matched set of GALEX and SDSS data to investigate the properties of a sample of 74 nearby galaxies with far-ultraviolet luminosities chosen to overlap the lu…
Recent star formation in nearby galaxies from GALEX imaging:M101 and M51
Luciana Bianchi, D. Thilker, D. Burgarella +24
The GALEX (Galaxy Evolution Explorer) Nearby Galaxies Survey is providing deep far-UV and near-UV imaging for a representative sample of galaxies in the local universe. We present…
Classification and Characterization of Objects from GALEX and SDSS surveys
Luciana Bianchi, M. Seibert, W. Zheng +22
We use the GALEX (Galaxy Evolution Explorer) Medium Imaging Survey (MIS) and All-Sky Imaging Survey (AIS) data available in the first internal release, matched to the SDSS catalogs…
The GALEX-VVDS Measurement of the Evolution of the 1500A Luminosity Function
S. Arnouts, D. Schiminovich, O. Ilbert +8
We present the first measurement of the galaxy luminosity function at 1500A between 0.2<z<1.2 based on GALEX-VVDS observations (1000 spectroscopic redshifts for galaxies with NUV<2…
Extinction radial profiles of M83 from GALEX UV imaging
S. Boissier, A. Gil de Paz, B. F. Madore +24
We use the far-UV (FUV) and near-UV (NUV) images of M83 obtained by GALEX to compute the radial profile of the UV spectral slope in the star forming disk. We briefly present a mode…
UV Emission from Stellar Populations within Tidal Tails: Catching the Youngest Galaxies in Formation?
S. G. Neff, D. A. Thilker, M. Seibert +22
New GALEX observations have detected significant FUV (1530 Angstroms) and NUV (2310 Angstroms) emission from stellar substructures within the tidal tails of four ongoing galaxy mer…
