Abstract:
We have undertaken an imaging survey of 34 nearby galaxies in far-ultraviolet(FUV, [sim]1500 ũ and optical (UBVRI) passbands to characterize galaxy morphology as a function of wavelength. This sample, which includes a range of classical Hubble types from elliptical to irregular, with emphasis on spirals at low inclination angle, provides a valuable database for comparison with images of high-z galaxies whose FUV light is redshifted into the optical and near-infrared bands.
