Keck DEIMOS Spectroscopy of a GALEX UV-Selected Sample from the Medium Imaging Survey
We report results from a pilot program to obtain spectroscopy forobjects detected in the Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) Medium ImagingSurvey (MIS). Our study examines the properties of galaxies detected byGALEX fainter than the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) spectroscopicsurvey. This is the first study to extend the techniques of Salim andcoworkers to estimate stellar masses, star formation rates (SFRs), andthe b (star formation history) parameter for star-forming galaxies outto z~0.7. We obtain redshifts for 50 GALEX MIS sources reaching NUV=23.9(AB mag) having counterparts in the SDSS Data Release 4 (DR4). Of oursample, 43 are star-forming galaxies with z<0.7, 3 have emission-lineratios indicative of active galactic nuclei with z<0.7, and 4 objectswith z>1 are QSOs, 3 of which are not previously cataloged. Wecompare our sample to a much larger sample of ~50,000 matched GALEX/SDSSgalaxies with SDSS spectroscopy; while our survey is shallow, theoptical counterparts to our sources reach ~3 mag fainter in SDSS r thanthe SDSS spectroscopic sample. We use emission-line diagnostics for thegalaxies to determine that the sample contains mostly star-forminggalaxies. The galaxies in the sample populate the blue sequence in theNUV-r versus Mr color-magnitude diagram. The derived stellarmasses of the galaxies range from 108 to 1011Msolar, and derived SFRs are between 10-1 and102 Msolar yr-1. Our sample has SFRs,luminosities, and velocity dispersions that are similar to the samplesof faint compact blue galaxies studied previously in the same redshiftrange by Koo and collaborators, Guzmán and collaborators, andPhillips and collaborators. However, our sample is ~2 mag fainter insurface brightness than the compact blue galaxies. We find that the starformation histories for a majority of the galaxies are consistent with arecent starburst within the last 100 Myr.Some of the data presented herein were obtained at the W. M. KeckObservatory, which is operated as a scientific partnership among theCalifornia Institute of Technology, the University of California, andthe National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The Observatory wasmade possible by the generous financial support of the W. M. KeckFoundation.

The 74th Special Name-list of Variable Stars
We present the Name-list introducing GCVS names for 3153 variable starsdiscovered by the Hipparcos mission.

Photometry of Southern Hemisphere red dwarf stars
Results are presented for a photometric investigation of aspectroscopically selected sample of red dwarf stars in the SouthernHemisphere. Absolute magnitudes and distances for the stars areestimated from broadband red colors. Three stars which may besubluminous are identified, as are several stars which may be within 25pc. The tangential velocity and velocity dispersion of the sample aresimilar to values found in other studies of nearby late-type stars.
