Caption: Figure 2.

Background image: binned NUV photon counts from GALEX. Blue dots mark individual FUV photons. There are fewer FUV than NUV photons because the FUV exposure time is shorter, but the sources are also fainter in the FUV. Both sources are detected and can be separated in the NUV. In the FUV, photons cluster around TYC 4144-329-2. The black circles mark the 1σ radius (2.1″) of a Gaussian that represents the NUV PSF.
