| Abstract |
We discuss the demographics of galaxies chosen to be in the the
so-called "Green Valley", a sparsely populated color-selected transition
region between the "Blue Plume" (generally populated by actively
star-forming spiral and irregular galaxies) and the "Red Sequence"
(populated by elliptical and S0/lenticular galaxies). We are in the
process of describing, typing and classifying these galaxies according
to their UV morphology in an attempt to evaluate the likely physical
mechanism(s) leading to their departure from the two main regions in
which the majority of other galaxies are found. |
