Scientific paper

We present the first results of an investigation into the GALEX-based UV morphology of 6,000 E and S0 galaxies selected from optical catalogs to be on the red sequence. A wide variety of unanticipated sites of apparent star formation are identified in this sample. These various types have been broadly grouped and classified into distinct modes of UV light production. We will illustrate and discuss each of the categories.
We are grateful to the Rose Hills Foundation, the Carnegie Institution of Washington, and the Claremont Colleges for funding.
