NUV GALEX coverage of the GUViCS survey area. Both RA and Dec are given in units of degrees. The black and white sky image mosaic is created from the AIS-like GALEX fields (exposure time <800 s) in the GUViCS area. The individual circles represent 0.6° radial GALEX fields with deeper exposure times than AIS. Dashed circles indicate that the field is either a targeted GUViCS or AGES field (P.I. A. Boselli). Red circles are GALEX fields with exposure times between 800 s–1500 s, cyan circles are GALEX fields with exposure times between 1500 s–30 000 s, and dark blue circles are GALEX fields with exposure times >30 000 s. Gaps in GALEX coverage (i.e., black empty regions) were purposely avoided during observations due to the presence of bright stars in those areas. The large yellow footprint represents the area covered by the NGVS in optical bands (CFHT u^∗g′r′i′z′), the green footprints represent the area covered by the HeViCS in the infrared (100 μm, 160 μm, 250 μm, 350 μm, and 500 μm), and the ALFALFA survey in radio (H i) covers the entire GUViCS area between 0°< Dec < 20°.
