A z=0 Multiwavelength Galaxy Synthesis (z0MGS). I.
Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)
We present an atlas of ultraviolet and infrared images of ~15750 local (d<~50Mpc) galaxies, as observed by NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) and Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) missions.
Description
These maps have matched resolution (FWHM 7.5" and 15"), matched astrometry, and a common procedure for background removal. We demonstrate that they agree well with resolved intensity measurements and integrated photometry from previous surveys.
This atlas represents the first part of a program (the z=0 Multiwavelength Galaxy Synthesis) to create a large, uniform database of resolved measurements of gas and dust in nearby galaxies. This atlas allows us estimate local and integrated star formation rates (SFRs) and stellar masses (M_*_) across the local galaxy population in a uniform way. In the appendix, we use the population synthesis fits of Salim+ (2016ApJS..227....2S and 2018ApJ...859...11S) to calibrate integrated M_*_ and SFR estimators based on GALEX and WISE.

Because they leverage a Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS)-based training set of >100000 galaxies, these calibrations have high precision and allow us to rigorously compare local galaxies to SDSS results. We provide these SFR and M_*_ estimates for all galaxies in our sample and show that our results yield a "main sequence" of star-forming galaxies comparable to previous work. We also show the distribution of intensities from resolved galaxies in NUV-to-WISE1 versus WISE1-to-WISE3 space, which captures much of the key physics accessed by these bands.
