Description
Georgia southern university research and service foundation star formation in NGC4532/DDO 137's tidal dwarf galaxies and 500 KPC HI stream mergers and close-passages between gas rich galaxies can result in the formation of long HI/stellar streams. The tidally induced star formation and gas concentrations can result in the creation of tidal dwarf galaxies (tdgs). Tdgs may contribute significantly to the dwarf galaxy population, by far the most common galaxy type in the current epoch. We have discovered one of the longest known tidal streams (500 KPC) in the NGE 4S3SIDDO 137 system. We propose 3 ksec FUV/NUV images centered on the stream and its five tdgs. We will readily detect faint/low mass star forming regions (-2E-17 ERG s-i CM-2 a-i) to 5~sigma. The galex observations are a unique opportunity to undertake a sensitive and comprehensive study of tidally induced star formation, dwarf galaxy formation and inter-galactic enrichment in this system.
