- Well, the core of M31 was CERTAINLY imaged by UIT, and tehre are no
- super bright stars. There is the UV excess as found by Art Code 20
- years ago with OAO, but the emission is certainly smooth, NOT
- superbright-supermassive stars.
-
- The core of M87 was certainly imaged, but M87 is not have much flux at
- all in the UV, with the exception of the synchrotron jet imaged by
- HST.
