Scientific paper

We investigate the frequency of XUV disks in a sample of E/S0s with stellar masses primarily below 4 x 1010 solar masses, located on both the red and blue sequences in color versus stellar mass space. We examine evidence that Type 1 XUV disks in certain regimes may be associated with weak or inefficient outer-disk star formation, as opposed to star formation capable of driving substantial disk growth. We also explore alternative indicators of strong disk building in E/S0s.
