Recent results of the searches for Supersymmetry in final states with one or two leptons at CMS are presented. Many Supersymmetry scenarios, including the Constrained Minimal Supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model (CMSSM), predict a substantial amount of events containing leptons, while the largest fraction of Standard Model background events -which are QCD interactions -gets strongly reduced by requiring isolated leptons. The analyzed data was taken in 2011 and corresponds to an integrated luminosity of approximately L = 1 fb −1 . The center-of-mass energy of the pp collisions was √ s = 7 TeV.
We give an overview of the Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX), a NASA Explorer Mission launched on 2003 April 28. GALEX is performing the first space UV sky survey, including imaging and grism surveys in two bands (1350-1750 and 1750-2750 galaxy survey. Spectroscopic (slitless) grism surveys ( ) are underway with various depths and sky R p 100-200 coverage. Many targets overlap existing or planned surveys in other bands. We will use the measured UV properties of local galaxies, along with corollary observations, to calibrate the relationship of the UV and global star formation rate in local galaxies. We will apply this calibration to distant galaxies discovered in the deep imaging and spectroscopic surveys to map the history of star formation in the universe over the redshift range 0 ! z ! and probe the physical drivers of star formation in galaxies. The GALEX mission includes a guest investigator 2 program, supporting the wide variety of programs made possible by the first UV sky survey.
We compare the dust attenuation properties of two samples of galaxies purely selected in the near-ultraviolet (NUV) band (1750-2750Å, λ mean = 2310Å) and in the far-infrared (FIR) at 60 µm . These samples are built using the GALEX
Ultraviolet imaging with the Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) has revealed
an extensive sample of UV-bright stellar complexes in the extreme outer disk of
M83, extending to about four times the radius where the majority of HII regions
are detected (R_HII = 5.1' or 6.6 kpc). These sources are typically associated
with large-scale filamentary HI structures in the warped outer disk of M83, and
are distributed beyond the galactocentric radii at which molecular ISM has yet
been detected. We present measured properties of these stellar complexes,
including FUV and NUV magnitudes and local gas surface density. Only a subset
of the outer disk UV sources have corresponding HII regions detected in H-alpha
imaging, consistent with a sample of mixed age in which some sources are a few
Myr old and others are much more evolved (~ 10^8 yr).Comment: This paper will be published as part of the Galaxy Evolution Explorer

We present the results of a determination of the galaxy luminosity function at ultraviolet wavelengths at redshifts of z = 0.0 − 0.1 from GALEX data. We determined the luminosity function in the GALEX FUV and NUV bands from a sample of galaxies with UV magnitudes between 17 and 20 that are drawn from a total of 56.73 deg 2 of GALEX fields overlapping the b jselected 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey. The resulting luminosity functions are fainter than previous UV estimates and result in total UV luminosity densities of 10 25.55±0.12 ergs s −1 Hz −1 Mpc −3 and 10 25.72±0.12 ergs s −1 Hz −1 Mpc −3 at 1530Å and 2310Å, respectively. This corresponds to a local star formation rate density in agreement with previous estimates made with Hα-selected data for reasonable assumptions about the UV extinction.
