Scientific paper

Far-Ultraviolet (FUV) emission from NGC4038/4039 traces recent massive star formation in the system. The FUV is used to determine the massive star content and to identify compact regions of recent star formation. FUV measurements are combined with ground-based observations and starburst models to determine ages, mass functions, and current star formation rates.
