Orchestration of Starbirth Activity in Disk Galaxies: New Perspectives from Ultraviolet Imaging
Abstract
Ultraviolet imaging of nearby disk galaxies reveals the star-forming activity in these systems with unprecedented clarity. UV images recently obtained with the Shuttle-borne Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope (UIT) reveal a remarkable variety of star-forming morphologies. The respective roles of tides, waves, and resonances in orchestrating the observed patterns of starbirth activity are discussed in terms of the extant UV data.
