UV Imaging of IR-Luminous Galaxy Mergers (with an emphasis on comparative morphology)
UV Imaging
UV in Context of Galaxy Mergers
Dust
But Real Galaxies Aren’t Light Bulbs surrounded by Dust Shells
Some Real Merging Galaxies
The High Luminosity End: Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies
Case Study - IRAS 08572+3915 an extended UV luminous starburst physically distinct from the primary luminosity source
Case Study - UGC 5101 extended burst with embedded luminosity source
Case Study - Mrk 273 a nuclear starburst and a partially embedded central source
Case Study - Mrk 463 AGN with extremely extended burst
Case Study - Mrk 231 an AGN with a nuclear starburst
Case Study - IRAS 15250+3609 an extended circumnuclear starburst
Case Study - Arp 220 a heavily obscured merger
What This Means for IR-Luminous Mergers
The UV Tells Us What In Terms of Galactic/Cosmic Evolution?
UV color/IR-excess (and there’s no link between observed IR and UV in ULIRGs)
UV color/IR-excess (and there’s no link between observed IR and UV)
Can the UV Measure the high-Z Star Formation Rate?
