Scientific paper

New ultraviolet observations and archival spectra are presented for the bright disk of the galaxy NGC 4736 to derive the ultraviolet surface brightness profile. This is used to predict the appearance of such a galaxy at high redshift. The profiles in red light of 100 galaxies determined by S. Kent (1984) are used with assumed ultraviolet spectra to predict the isophotal diameters of these galaxies as a function of redshift. The results show that, for ground-based imagery, normal spiral galaxies should be resolvable to the largest redshifts (z roughly 1). For space-based imagery, much smaller but brighter galactic disks characterized by extensive star formation will be those resolved at the highest redshifts (z roughly 2.5).
