| Abstract |
We present the first results of an investigation into the GALEX-based UV
morphology of 6,000 E and S0 galaxies selected from optical catalogs to
be on the red sequence. A wide variety of unanticipated sites of
apparent star formation are identified in this sample. These various
types have been broadly grouped and classified into distinct modes of UV
light production. We will illustrate and discuss each of the categories.
We are grateful to the Rose Hills Foundation, the Carnegie Institution
of Washington, and the Claremont Colleges for funding. |
