We examined the general characteristics of the Kiso Ultra-violet Excess Galaxies (KUGs). We present for the first time the quantitative expressions for the criteria of the KUGs; the boundary color separating the KUGs from the non-KUGs is…

We report the identification of 15 galaxy candidates at $z\ge9$ using the initial COSMOS-Web JWST observations over 77 arcmin$^2$ through four NIRCam filters (F115W, F150W, F277W, F444W) with an overlap with MIRI (F770W) of 8.7 arcmin$^2$.…

We present optical (UBVRI) linear polarimetric observations of 8 Wolf-Rayet (WR) massive binaries and single stars. We have corrected the observed values for the interstellar extinction and polarization by the interstellar medium to obtain…

Galaxy colours are determined for two samples of 6C and 3CR radio sources at z~1, differing by a factor of ~6 in radio power. Corrections are made for emission line contamination and the presence of any nuclear point source, and the data…

We report on the properties of a sample of ultraviolet luminous galaxies (UVLGs) selected by matching the Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) Surveys with the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Third Data Release. Out of 25362 galaxies between…

We use cosmological simulations from the Feedback In Realistic Environments (FIRE) project, which implement a comprehensive set of stellar feedback processes, to study ultra-violet (UV) metal line emission from the circum-galactic medium of…

Absorption-line spectroscopy of 23 background QSOs and numerous background galaxies has let us measure the spatial distribution of metals and neutral hydrogen around 1044 UV-selected galaxies at redshifts 1.8<z<3.3. The typical galaxy is…

We have discovered a highly significant over-density of galaxies at z=2.300+/-0.015 in the course of a redshift survey designed to select star-forming galaxies in the redshift range z=2.3+/-0.4 in the field of the bright z=2.72 QSO…

Several UV and near-infrared color selection methods have identified galaxies at z = 1-3. Since each method suffers from selection biases, we have applied three leading techniques (Lyman break, BX/BM, and BzK selection) simultaneously in…

We present the first detailed spectroscopic study of field galaxies up to z=0.3 from the I-magnitude limited CFRS sample. In this complete sample, we find that about half of the objects are blue emission-line galaxies. Using line ratio…

We present an Ultraviolet (UV) selected sample of 268 objects in the two fields of the Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey (GOODS). We used the parallel observations taken with WFPC2 in the U--band (F300W) which covered 88% of the GOODS…

We present the rest-frame optical and infrared colours of a complete sample of 1114 z<0.3 galaxies from the Spitzer Wide-area InfraRed Extragalactic Legacy Survey (SWIRE) and the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). We discuss the optical and…

We have identified 15 XUV disks in a largely field sample of 38 E/S0 galaxies with stellar masses primarily below ~4 x 10^10 M_sun and comparable numbers on the red and blue sequences. We use a new purely quantitative XUV disk definition…

We have investigated the radial g-r color gradients of early-type galaxies in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) DR6 in the redshift range 0.00<z<0.06. The majority of massive early-type galaxies show a negative color gradient (red-cored)…

We present DEIMOS spectroscopic observations of the most UV-luminous star-forming galaxies at 3.2<z<4.6. Our sample contains galaxies with luminosities of L*<L<7L* and is one of the largest samples to date of the most UV-luminous galaxies…

JWST observations have revealed rare galaxies with UV spectra exhibiting intense lines of nitrogen, indicative of super-solar N/O abundances at low metallicity. To better understand these enigmatic objects and provide new constraints on…

The WiggleZ Dark Energy Survey measured the redshifts of over 200,000 UV-selected (NUV<22.8 mag) galaxies on the Anglo-Australian Telescope. The survey detected the baryon acoustic oscillation signal in the large scale distribution of…

We investigate UV continuum slopes $\beta$ of 863 galaxies at $z=4-14$ using archival JWST/NIRSpec PRISM spectra obtained from major JWST GTO, ERS, and GO programs, including JADES, CEERS, and UNCOVER. Among these galaxies, we identify a…

Nearby (D < 100 Mpc) luminous blue starburst galaxies frequently show morphological evidence for recent involvement in mild collisions, or minor mergers where the disk survives. As a consequence UV-bright starbursts are preferentially seen…

The puzzling origin of the ``UV-upturn'' phenomenon, observed in some elliptical galaxies, has recently been settled by identifying hot HB stars as main contributors to galaxy ultraviolet luminosity excess. While a blue HB morphology seems…
