UV-optical colors as probes of early-type galaxy evolution

<p>We have studied ~2100 early-type galaxies in the SDSS DR3 which have been detected by the <i>GALEX</i> Medium Imaging Survey (MIS), in the redshift range 0 &lt; <i>z</i> &lt; 0.11. Combining <i>GALEX</i> UV photometry with corollary optical data...
