Superassociations in spiral galaxies with ultraviolet excess. I

The results of a morphological investigation of spiral galaxies with ultraviolet excess and containing bright condensations (superassociations) are presented. The galaxies were selected from the first 14 lists of objects with ultraviolet continuum on the basis of photographs taken with the 0.5-m and 2.6-m telescopes of the Biurakan Observatory. A list of 56 galaxies containing superassociations is given. Photographs of 26 of these 56 galaxies are reproduced and described. The sizes and brightnesses of the superassociations and the nuclei and the distance of the latter from the center of the galaxies have been determined. 14 references.
