We make use of the on-going All Imaging Survey of the UV GALEX satellite cross-correlated with the IRAS all sky survey to build samples of galaxies trully selected in far-infrared or in ultraviolet. We discuss the amount of dust attenuation…
We study two samples of local galaxies, one is UV (GALEX) selected and the other FIR (IRAS) selected, to address the question whether UV and FIR surveys see the two sides ('bright' and 'dark') of the star formation of the same population of…
This work presents the main ultraviolet (UV) and far-infrared (FIR) properties of two samples of nearby galaxies selected from the GALEX ($\lambda = 2315$\AA, hereafter NUV) and IRAS ($\lambda = 60\mu$m) surveys respectively. They are built…
We discuss the dust attenuation and the star formation rates in the nearby universe obtained from a comparison of far-infrared (IRAS) and ultraviolet (GALEX) observations. The ratio of the dust to UV flux ratio is used to derive the dust…
We select galaxies in UV rest-frame at z=0, z~0.7 and z~1 together with a sample of LBGs at z~1, the samples are built in order to sample the same range of luminosity at any redshift. The evolution of the IR and UV luminosities with z is…
The combination of both contributions from the observed UV emission and the absorbed radiations reprocessed in the infrared represents the ideal approach to constrain the activity of massive star formation in galaxies. Using recent results…
We compile a new sample of 115 nearby, non-Seyfert galaxies spanning a wide range of star formation activities, from starburst to nearly dormant, based on ultraviolet (UV) observations with various satellites. We combine these observations…
Compared to starburst galaxies, normal star forming galaxies have been shown to display a much larger dispersion of the dust attenuation at fixed reddening through studies of the IRX-beta diagram (the IR/UV ratio "IRX" versus the UV color…
Many recent estimates of the star formation rate density at high redshift rely on rest-frame ultraviolet (UV) data. These are highly sensitive to dust absorption. Applying a correlation between the far-infrared (FIR) to UV flux ratio and UV…
This is a summary of arguments in favor of observing high-redshift star formation in the UV as presented at the Ringberg meeting in September 2000. The most rapidly star-forming galaxies are very dusty, easier to detect at 850um than in the…
During the UIT/Astro Spacelab missions, the Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope obtained spatially resolved far-UV (lambda 1500 A) imagery of ~35 galaxies exhibiting recent massive star formation. The sample includes disk systems, irregular,…
The ultraviolet (UV) upturn is characterised by an unexpected up-rise of the UV flux in quiescent galaxies between the Lyman limit and 2500\AA. By making use of colour-colour diagrams, one can subdivide UV bright red-sequence galaxies in…
In this letter, we estimate how much starlight was absorbed by dust and released in the infrared during the formation of galaxies. New constraints are set on this so-far hidden history by the recent detection of the Cosmic Infrared…
The correlation between infrared-to-ultraviolet luminosity ratio and ultraviolet color, i.e. the IRX-UV relation, was regarded as a prevalent recipe for correcting extragalactic dust attenuation. Considerable dispersion in this relation…
Using a phenomenological approach, we self-consistently model the redshift evolution of the ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) luminosity functions across cosmic time, as well as a range of observed IR properties of UV-selected galaxy…
We present the results of a multiwavelength study of nearby galaxies, aimed at understanding the relation between the ultraviolet and far-infrared emission in star-forming galaxies. The dataset comprises new ultraviolet (from HST/STIS),…
We present the first results of an ongoing spectroscopic survey of galaxies selected in the rest-frame ultraviolet (UV). The redshift distribution extends over 0<z<0.5 and a high fraction of the sources show intense nebular emission lines…
I review measurements of star formation in nearby galaxies in the UV-to-FIR wavelength range, and discuss their impact on SFR determinations in intermediate and high redshift galaxy populations. Existing and upcoming facilities will enable…
The recent detection of the Cosmic Infrared Background in FIRAS and DIRBE residuals, and the observations of IR/submm sources by the ISOPHOT and SCUBA instruments have shed new light on the optically dark side of galaxy formation. It turns…
Combined observations from UV to IR wavelengths are necessary to fully account for the star-formation in galaxy clusters. Low mass (log M/Msun<10) galaxies are typically not individualy detected, particularly at higher redshifts (z~1-2)…
