The Postcollapse Core of M 15 Imaged with the Hst Planetary Camera 1
We have obtained U-band images of the M15 core with the Planetary Camera of the Hubble Space Telescope. We are able to resolve stars down to the main-sequence turnoff (mu ~ 19.4) into the cluster center. We use crowded field photometry techniques to decompose M15 into bright resolved stars and a residual component consisting of stars at turnoff brightness or fainter. The residual component comp...
متن کاملThe Nuclear Region of M51 Imaged with the HST Planetary Camera
Based on observations with the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, obtained at the Space Telescope Science Institute, which is operated by AURA, Inc., under NASA contract NAS 5-26555. The National Optical Astronomy Observatories are operated by the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, Inc. (AURA) under cooperative agreement with the National Science Foundation.
متن کاملImproving the Absolute Astrometry of HST Data with GSC-II
We have used the new GSC-II to significantly improve the absolute astrometric accuracy of a large number of ACS datasets from the first years of ACS operations, reducing the initial levels of uncertainty (typically 1 2”, or more in some cases) to an accuracy of about 0.1 0.3”. There are typically enough GSC-II objects in the field of view of the ACS/WFC detectors to enable a robust solution to ...
متن کاملAccurate optical-to-radio registration of Seyfert galaxies with HST images Absolute astrometry of HST images?
We propose a method to obtain accurate absolute astrometry of Hubble Space Telescope images. Ground based images are used to linkHST images to standard astrometric stars defining the optical frame of reference. The method has been used to register optical images of the Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 5929 to the corresponding radio maps, allowing the exploration of the relationship between radio and optic...
متن کاملHST / NICMOS Imaging of the Planetary Nebula
Images of Hubble 12 were obtained with the HST/NICMOS instrument in the F110W, F164N, and F166N filters of NIC1, and the F160W, F187N, F190N, F212N, F215N filters of NIC2. The images show the structure of the inner “torus” and lobes much clearer than previous ground-based images. In particular, the [Fe II] lobes are clearly resolved and shown to be distinct from the H2 emission structures. Appa...
