Scientific paper

We use UV imaging data from the GALEX (Galaxy Evolution Explorer) surveys, matched to other surveys at longer wavelengths, to classify sources and infer their physical parameters by comparing their measured UV - optical - IR colors to model colors. Our results significantly increase the statistics of some classes of astrophysical objects, such as Milky Way (MW) hot stars and low-redshift QSOs, and provide an unprecedented census of White Dwarfs in the MW. Results from follow-up spectroscopy of UV-selected sources are also presented. (see http://dolomiti.pha.jhu.edu for details )
We gratefully acknowledge NASA's support for construction, operation and data analysis of the GALEX mission, developed in cooperation with the French CNES and Korean Ministry of Science and Technology.
