AB - Here, we present the first catalog of Ultraviolet time-VAriable sources (1UVA). We describe a new analysis pipeline called VAriable Source Clustering Analysis (VASCA). We applied this pipeline to 10 yr of data from the Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) satellite. We analyzed a sky area 302 deg2, and detected 4,202 time-variable ultraviolet (UV) sources. We cross-correlated these sources with multi-frequency data from the Gaia satellite and the Set of Identifications, Measurements and Bibliography for Astronomical Data (SIMBAD) database, finding an association for 3,655 sources. The source sample was dominated by active galactic nuclei (≈73
