We review progress over the past decade in observations of large-scale star formation, with
a focus on the interface between extragalactic and Galactic studies. Methods of measuring …

We measure the star formation efficiency (SFE), the star formation rate (SFR) per unit of gas,
in 23 nearby galaxies and compare it with expectations from proposed star formation laws …

We present a comprehensive analysis of the relationship between star formation rate
surface density, Σ SFR, and gas surface density, Σ gas, at sub-kpc resolution in a sample of …

We give an overview of the Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX), a NASA Explorer Mission
launched on 2003 April 28. GALEX is performing the first space UV sky survey, including …

ABSTRACT The Spitzer Survey of Stellar Structure in Galaxies () is an Exploration Science
Legacy Program approved for the Spitzer post–cryogenic mission. It is a volume-, magnitude …

We present images, integrated photometry, and surface-brightness and color profiles for a
total of 1034 nearby galaxies recently observed by the Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) …

We combine data from The H i Nearby Galaxy Survey and the GALEX Nearby Galaxy
Survey to study the relationship between atomic hydrogen (H i) and far-ultraviolet (FUV) …

ABSTRACT The Legacy ExtraGalactic UV Survey (LEGUS) is a Cycle 21 Treasury program
on the Hubble Space Telescope aimed at the investigation of star formation and its relation …

Using imaging data from the SDSS survey, we present the and radial stellar light distribution
of a complete sample of~ 90 face-on to intermediate inclined, nearby, late-type (Sb–Sdm) …

We have initiated a search for extended ultraviolet disk (XUV-disk) galaxies in the local
universe. Here we compare GALEX UV and visible-NIR images of 189 nearby (D< 40 Mpc) …
