Dwarf Detachment and Globular Cluster Formation in Arp 305
  Tidal Dwarf Galaxies (TDG), concentrations of interstellar gas and stars in
the tidal features of interacting galaxies, have been the subject of much
scrutiny. The `smoking gun' that will prove the TDG hypothesis is the discovery
of independent dwarf galaxies that are detached from other galaxies, but have
clear tidal histories. As part of a search for TDGs we are using GALEX to
conduct a large UV imaging survey of interacting galaxies selected from the Arp
Atlas. As part of that study, we present a GALEX UV and SDSS and SARA optical
study of the gas-rich interacting galaxy pair Arp 305. The GALEX UV data reveal
much extended diffuse UV emission and star formation outside the disks
including a candidate TDG between the two galaxies. We have used a smooth
particle hydrodynamics code to model the interaction and determine the fate of
the candidate TDG.
