Catalogs of GALEX UV unique sources, and of UV-optical matched sources
A team led by Luciana Bianchi presents comprehensive catalogues of hot star candidates in the Milky Way (MW), selected from Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) far-UV (FUV; 1344—1786 Å) and near-UV (NUV; 1771—2831 Å) imaging as described in the paper below.
