Simulated Optical Images of High Redshift Galaxies using GALEX Ultraviolet Images of Nearby Galaxies
Abstract
Galaxy morphology plays an important role in the assessment of the evolutionary state of galaxies. In this respect, the prediction of optical-band morphologies at high redshifts requires UV images of local galaxies with various morphologies. We present the simulated optical images of galaxies observed with the HST/ACS at high redshifts using Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) near-ultraviolet (NUV: 2271 A) and far-ultraviolet (FUV: 1528 A) images of nearby galaxies. We simulated optical images at cosmological distances using more diverse and high-quality nearby galaxies obtained through the GALEX UV observations.
