Ultraviolet Imaging of the Cen-A JetWe present GALEX ultraviolet (125-300nm) images of Centaurus A over a 1.1 degree field. We detect UV emission from young stars and shocks at the interface between the outer jet and an HI cloud, at locations where the inner jet bends or is disrupted, and in the central disk. Although some of these star-forming regions were previously imaged with HST, not all have been. We also detect faint, diffuse UV emission from several regions where young stars are not obviously present. New radio images of the Northern Middle Lobe of Cen A may also be presented, depending on the progress of data reduction.
