Star formation in Stephan's Quintet

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

We present the first Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) UV images of the well-known interacting group of galaxies, Stephan's Quintet (SQ).

Description

We detect widespread UV emission throughout the group. However, there is no consistent coincidence between UV structure and emission in the optical, H{alpha}, or HI.

Excluding the foreground galaxy NGC 7320 (Sd), most of the UV emission is found in regions associated with the two spiral members of the group, NGC 7319 and NGC 7318b, and the intragroup medium starburst SQ-A. The extinction-corrected UV data are analyzed to investigate the overall star formation activity in SQ.
