Ultraviolet Luminous Galaxies have been identified as intensely star-forming, nearby galaxies -as local analogs to Lyman Break Galaxies. We investigate the radio properties of 46 compact UVLGs, along with ultraviolet observations and optical spectral data. Comparing the UV star formation rate to the star formation rate derived from the radio continuum, we find that these systems are underluminous in the radio; we detect only half of the UVLGs. We interpret this result in terms of both star formation history and dust content. Our analysis includes comparison samples of multiwavelength data from the First Look Survey and from the SDSS-GALEX matched catalogs. We conclude that compact UVLGs are young and show lower dust attenuation than average given their current rate of star formation.
