Description


The GALEX Atlas of Nearby Galaxies contains images of 1034 nearby galaxies recently observed by the GALEX satellite in its far-ultraviolet (FUV; 1516A) and near-ultraviolet (NUV; 2267A) bands. The Atlas was prepared by A. Gil de Paz,S. Boissier, B.F. Madore, M. Seibert and associated members of the GALEX Team. The full paper is posted on astroph/0606440 and will be published in ApJS in 2007.
