We present a study of the morphology of star formation and the associated nuclear activity in a sample of 8 closely interacting southern galaxies, which are in different stages of interaction, starting with nearly merged nuclei that have…
Physically unassociated background or foreground objects seen towards submillimetre sources are potential contaminants of both the studies of young stellar objects embedded in Galactic dust clumps and multiwavelength counterparts of…
The VEGAS imaging survey of the Hydra I cluster reveals an extended network of stellar filaments to the south-west of the spiral galaxy NGC3314A. Within these filaments, at a projected distance of ~40 kpc from the galaxy, we discover an…
We report the discovery of a transparent sightline at projected distances of {\rho} < 20 kpc to an interacting pair of mature galaxies at z = 0.12. The sightline of the UV-bright quasar PG1522+101 at z = 1.328 passes at {\rho} = 11.5 kpc…
We present a multi-wavelength study of the nearby starburst galaxy M 82 by combining high-resolution Far-ultraviolet (FUV) imaging from the Ultra-Violet Imaging Telescope (UVIT) onboard AstroSat and archival Chandra X-ray observations.…
We present detailed images of diffuse UV intergalactic light (IGL), situated in a 60kpc halo that surrounds the radio galaxy MRC 1138-262 at z=2. We discuss the nature of the IGL and rule out faint cluster galaxies, nebular continuum…
Recent far-UV (FUV) and near-UV (NUV) observations of the nearby galaxy NGC4625 made by the Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) show the presence of an extended UV disk reaching 4 times the optical radius of the galaxy. The UV-to-optical…
(Abbreviated) We present an imaging survey of 37 nearby galaxies observed with HST/WFPC2 in the mid-UV F300W filter and in F814W. 11 galaxies were also imaged in F255W. These galaxies were selected to be detectable with WFPC2 in one orbit,…
We describe the structural, stellar population and gas properties of the nearest Ultra Diffuse Galaxy (UDG) discovered so far: UGC2162 (z=0.00392; R$_{e,g}$=1.7$(\pm$0.2) kpc; $\mu_g(0)$=24.4$\pm$0.1 mag/arcsec$^2$; g-i=0.33$\pm$0.02). This…
We report the discovery of two ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) which show clear evidence for association with tidal material and interaction with a larger galaxy halo, found during a search of the Wide portion of the Canada-France-Hawaii…
UDG 32 is an ultra-diffuse galaxy (UDG) candidate in the Hydra I cluster that was discovered in the extended network of stellar filaments of the jellyfish galaxy NGC 3314A. This galaxy is affected by ram pressure stripping and it is…
We report the discovery of a cluster of galaxies in the field of UM425, a pair of quasars separated by 6.5arcsec. Based on this finding, we revisit the long-standing question of whether this quasar pair is a binary quasar or a…
We present galaxy counts in the near-ultraviolet (NUV; 2365\AA) and far-ultraviolet (FUV; 1595\AA) obtained from Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) observations of portions of the Hubble Deep Field North (HDFN), the Hubble Deep…
(Abridged) We have used the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE) to search for H_2 absorption in five starburst galaxies: NGC 1705, NGC 3310, NGC 4214, M83 (NGC 5236), and NGC 5253. We tentatively detect weak absorption by H_2 in…
Context: A census of faint and tiny star forming complexes at high redshift is key to improving our understanding of reionizing sources, galaxy growth and the formation of globular clusters. Aims: We present the MUSE Deep Lensed Field…
Distance determinations of extremely-low-surface-brightness galaxies are expensive in terms of spectroscopic time. Because of this, their distances are often inferred by associating such galaxies with larger structures such as groups or…
Extended ultraviolet (XUV) emission in nearby disk galaxies supports the inside-out growth scenario through low-efficiency star formation in their outer regions. However, such detections have largely been limited to the local Universe ($z…
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…
The Hubble Ultra Deep Field source JD2 presented in Mobasher et al. (2005) is an unusual galaxy that is very faint at all wavelengths shortward of 1.1 micron. Photometric redshift fits to data at 0.4 to 8 microns yield a significant…
We present results from our deep Far-ultraviolet (FUV) survey using {\em AstroSat}/UVIT of a filamentary structure at $z$ $\sim$ $0.072$. A total of four filaments comprising 58 galaxies were probed in our study. We detect 18 filament…
