STIS Far UV Images and Broadband Colors of Galaxies at z=0.1
Abstract
As part of a project to investigate the morphological properties of normal galaxies in the far ultraviolet (FUV) we have obtained STIS FUV images of 7 fields which include 13 detectable galaxies. The galaxies are all in groups associated with a bright (3C) radio galaxy at redshifts between z=0.1 and z=0.2. Follow-up ground-based images in U, B, V, R and I have been obtained using the 2-m telescope at KPNO. In addition to the STIS FUV images STIS broadband ( ~ 3000-10000 Angstroms) CCD images were obtained. These high resolution images have been used to classify the morphological type of each galaxy. We present the FUV, U, B, V, R, I spectral energy distribution as a function of morphological type and examine where within each galaxy the FUV light originates.
