Microvariability survey with the Hubble Space Telescope Fine Guidance Sensors
The suitability of theHubble Space Telescope (HST) Fine Guidance Sensors (FGS) for a magnitude limited survey of microvariability among guide stars is investigated. The linearity, relative sensitivity, and dead-time constants of the three FGSs are determined, and the photon noise limitation of the FGS photometry is confirmed. The noise spectrum is found to be “white” and a procedure is describe...
متن کاملA Hubble Space Telescope Snapshot Survey of Dynamically Close Galaxy Pairs in the CNOC2 Redshift Survey
We compare the structural properties of two classes of galaxies at intermediate redshift: those in dynamically close galaxy pairs, and those which are isolated. Both samples are selected from the CNOC2 Redshift Survey, and have redshifts in the range 0.1 < z < 0.6. Hubble Space Telescope WFPC2 images were acquired as part of a snapshot survey, and were used to measure bulge fraction and asymmet...
متن کاملLightcurves of 20 – 100 kilometer Kuiper Belt Objects using the Hubble Space Telescope
We report high precision photometry of three small and one larger Kuiper Belt Objects (KBOs) obtained with the Advanced Camera for Surveys onboard the Hubble Space Telescope (ACS/HST). The three small bodies are the smallest KBOs for which lightcurve measurements are available. 2003 BF91 has a diameter of 20 kilometers (assuming 10% albedo) and a 1.09 magnitude, 9.1-hour lightcurve that is feas...
متن کاملThe Hubble Sphere Hydrogen Survey
An all sky redshift survey, using hydrogen 21 cm emission to locate galaxies, can be used to track the wavelength of baryon acoustic oscillations imprints from z ∼ 1.5 to z = 0. This will allow precise determination of the evolution of dark energy. A telescope made of fixed parabolic cylindrical reflectors offers substantial benefit for such a redshift survey. Fixed cylinders can be built for l...
متن کاملCOSMOS : Hubble Space Telescope Observations
The Cosmic Evolution Survey (COSMOS) was initiated with an extensive allocation (590 orbits in Cycles 12-13) using the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) for high resolution imaging. Here we review the characteristics of the HST imaging with the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) and parallel observations with NICMOS and WFPC2. A square field (1.8⊓⊔) has been imaged with single-orbit ACS I-F814W expos...
