abstract

We give an overview of the Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX), a NASA Explorer Mission launched on April 28, 2003. GALEX is performing the first space UV sky-survey, including imaging and grism surveys in two bands (1350-1750 Angstroms and 1750-2750 Angstroms). The surveys include an all-sky imaging survey (m[AB] ~ 20.5), a medium imaging survey of 1000 square degrees (m[AB] ~ 23), a deep imaging survey of 100 square degrees (m[AB] ~ 25), and a nearby galaxy survey. Spectroscopic grism surveys (R=100-200) are underway with various depths and sky coverage. Many targets overlap existing or planned surveys. We will use the measured UV properties of local galaxies, along with corollary observations, to calibrate the UV-global star formation rate relationship in local galaxies. We will apply this calibration to distant galaxies discovered in the deep imaging and spectroscopic surveys to map the history of star formation in the universe over the redshift range 0 < z < 1.5, and probe the physical drivers of star formation in galaxies. The GALEX mission includes a Guest Investigator program supporting the wide variety of programs made possible by the first UV sky survey.

A Population of Little Red Dot-like Quasars in SDSS

astro-ph.GA · 2026-06-24 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Defines a sample of ~1300 SDSS quasars as Local Red Dots matching LRD photometric colors at z~0.4-0.8, with a V-shaped subset showing Balmer absorption and [NeV] emission, and SEDs modeled as reddened AGN plus host galaxy that match LRD stacks.

The functional form of galaxy and halo luminosity and mass functions

astro-ph.GA · 2026-04-25 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Exhaustive symbolic regression identifies low-complexity functional forms for luminosity and mass functions that outperform Schechter and Press-Schechter parametrizations while satisfying physical extrapolation and integration constraints.

UV Star-Formation Rates of the SHIELD Dwarf Galaxies

astro-ph.GA · 2026-06-25 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

New FUV SFRs for the full SHIELD sample confirm Hα underestimates star formation in dwarfs, establish FUV as robust at lowest masses, and identify baryonic mass as the best predictor with most galaxies gas-dominated.

Using GALEX UV Excess to Search for Metal-poor Halo Stars

astro-ph.SR · 2026-05-27 · unverdicted · novelty 4.0

GALEX NUV excess shows an 8 sigma anti-correlation with [Fe/H] in 492 halo stars, enabling distinction of VMP stars but limited for EMP stars by chromospheric variability.
