| Description: A pictorial atlas of UV (2300 Å) images, obtained with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Faint Object Camera, of the central 22''× 22'' of 110 galaxies (Maoz, Filippenko, Ho, Macchetto, Rix, & Schneider 1996). The observed galaxies are an unbiased selection constituting about one half of a complete sample of all large (D6 arcmin) and nearby (V 2000 km/s ) galaxies. This is the first extensive UV imaging survey of normal galaxies. The data are useful for studying star formation, low-level nuclear activity, and UV emission by evolved stellar populations in galaxies. At the HST resolution (~ 0.05''), the images display an assortment of morphologies and UV brightnesses. These include bright nuclear point sources, compact young star clusters scattered in the field or arranged in circumnuclear rings, centrally-peaked diffuse light distributions, and galaxies with weak or undetected UV emission. We measure the integrated ~2300 Å flux in each image, and classify the UV morphology. |
