    The ultraviolet luminosity function of star-forming galaxies between redshifts of 0.6 and 1.2
    We use ultraviolet (UV) imaging taken with the XMM-Newton Optical Monitor telescope (XMM-OM), covering 280 arcmin 2 in the UVW1 band (λ eff = 2910 Å) to measure...

    The Undiscovered Ultradiffuse Galaxies of the Local Group
    Ultradiffuse galaxies (UDGs) are attractive candidates to probe cosmological models and test theories of galaxy formation at low masses; however, they are...
