摘要: The UltraViolet imaging of the Cosmic Assembly Near-infrared Deep Extragalactic Legacy Survey Fields (UVCANDELS) program provides HST/UVIS F275W imaging for four CANDELS fields. We combine this UV imaging with existing HST/near-IR grism spectroscopy from 3D-HST+AGHAST to directly compare the resolved rest-frame UV and H$\alpha$ emission for a sample of 979 galaxies at $0.71.5$), suggesting that bursty star-formation is likely prevalent in the outskirts of even the most massive galaxies but is likely over-shadowed by their brighter cores. Furthermore, we present the UV-to-H$\alpha$ ratio as a function of galaxy surface brightness, a proxy for stellar mass surface density, and find that regions below $\sim10^8~M_\odot~kpc^{-2}$ are consistent with bursty star-formation, regardless of their galaxy stellar mass, potentially suggesting that local star-formation is independent of global galaxy properties at the smallest scales.
