Summary
We present simulated optical images of galaxies at high redshift using diverse and high-quality ultraviolet (UV) images of nearby galaxies obtained through the GALEX (Galaxy Evolution Explorer). Galaxy morphology plays an important role in the study of the evolution of galaxies. In this respect, the appearance of galaxies at high redshift requires images of nearby galaxies with various morphologies in the UV bandpass. Our simulation will be important in providing the basic information needed to study the evolution of galaxies.
