The UV luminosity function and star formation rate of the Coma cluster

L. Cortese, G. Gavazzi, A. Boselli

We present estimates of the GALEX NUV and FUV luminosity functions (LFs) of the Coma cluster, over a total area of ~9 deg^2 (~25 Mpc^2), i.e. from the cluster center to the virial…

The origin of the mu_e - M_B and Kormendy relations in dwarf elliptical galaxies

A. Boselli, S. Boissier, L. Cortese +1

The present work is aimed at studying the distribution of galaxies of different types and luminosities along different structural scaling relations to see whether massive and dwarf…

GALEX observations of Low Surface Brightness Galaxies: UV color and star formation efficiency

S. Boissier, A. Gil de Paz, A. Boselli +7

We present GALEX UV observations of a sample of Low Surface Brightness (LSB) galaxies for which HI data are available, allowing us to estimate their star formation efficiency. We f…

UV Dust Attenuation in Star-forming Galaxies: II Calibrating the A(UV) vs. L_TIR/L_UV relation

L. Cortese, A. Boselli, P. Franzetti +4

We investigate the dependence of the total-infrared (TIR) to UV luminosity ratio method for calculating the UV dust attenuation A(UV) from the age of the underlying stellar populat…

H-alpha Kinematics of the SINGS Nearby Galaxies Survey. II

I. Dicaire, C. Carignan, P. Amram +8

This is the second part of an H-alpha kinematics follow-up survey of the Spitzer Infrared Nearby Galaxies Survey (SINGS) sample. The aim of this program is to shed new light on the…

The origin of dwarf ellipticals in the Virgo cluster

A. Boselli, S. Boissier, L. Cortese +1

We study the evolution of dwarf (L_H < 10^{9.6} L_Ho) star forming and quiescent galaxies in the Virgo cluster by comparing their UV to radio centimetric properties to the predicti…
