The Galex Nearby Young Star Survey (GALNYSS) has yielded a sample of ∼2000 UV-selected objects that are candidate nearby (D 150 pc), young (age ∼ 10-100 Myr), late-type stars. Here, we evaluate the distances and ages of the subsample of (19) GALNYSS stars with Gaia Data Release 1 (DR1) parallax distances D 120 pc. The overall youth of these 19 mid-K to early-M stars is readily apparent from their positions relative to the loci of main-sequence stars and giants in Gaia-based color-magnitude and color-color diagrams constructed for all stars detected by Galex and the Wide-field Infrared Space Explorer for which parallax measurements are included in DR1. The isochronal ages of all 19 stars lie in the range ∼10-100 Myr. Comparison with Li-based age estimates indicates a handful of these stars may be young main-sequence binaries rather than pre-main sequence stars. Nine of the 19 objects have not previously been considered as nearby, young stars, and all but one of these are found at declinations north of +30°. The Gaia DR1 results presented here indicate that the GALNYSS sample includes several hundred nearby, young stars, a substantial fraction of which have not been previously recognized as having ages 100 Myr.
