  2. Motivation • UV properties of different morphological Early-Type dwarf galaxies • Environmental effects for the UV properties of dwarf elliptical galaxies. We found the dwarf lenticulars and peculiar dwarf ellipticals show distinct locus from that of ordinary dwarf ellipticals in CMR. Early type dwarf galaxies far from the center of the Virgo cluster (r>2o to the M87; small red circles) shows larger UV fluxes than those near the center of cluster center (r<2o to the M87; large red circles): These UV bright dwarf galaxies located at outer part of the Virgo cluster are possible candidates showing recent star formation activity.

  3. DATA • GALEX GR3 : Mosaic Fields of GALEX UV Data • SDSS DR5 : u,g,r,i,z Optical Data • GOLDMine Data Base

  5. CMR : Color Magnitude Relation(GALEX UV data and GOLDmine data base ) We found the dwarf lenticulars as well as recently discovered peculiar dwarf ellipticals (with disk and blue center), show distinct locus (yellow rectangulars)from that of ordinary dwarf ellipticals in CMRs. This indicates the UV properties of these dwarf galaxies are different to those of ordinary dwarf ellipticals, suggesting different formation and evolution(e.g., star formation activity).

  9. Conclusion - Ultraviolet properties of early-type dwarf galaxies in the Virgo cluster using the GALEX UV data and SDSS optical data. - Different morphological dwarf galaxies show different UV to optical color magnitude relation(CMRs) - Since dwarf galaxies depend on cluster environments effect, the far from cluster center show larger UV fluxes than those near the center.
