Abstract
AbstractMotivated by the GALEX discovery of recent star formation in outermost regions of M83 and NGC4625, we have investigated the nature of the XUV disks with follow-up high resolution imaging and spectroscopy, and attempted to detect them at other wavelengths (IR, Hα). We searched for additional XUV-disk galaxies in the local universe, in order to quantify the incidence of the XUV-disk phenomenon, infer the causes of such extended star formation (SF), and place these systems in the context of disk galaxy evolution.
