- Description:
- The detailed surface photometry of a sample of early-type galaxies in the Hubble Deep Field is presented as part of a long-term project aimed to settle strong observational constraints to the theories modelling the evolution of elliptical galaxies from the early stages. The sample has been extracted, in the V_606_ band, from the database provided by the ESO-STECF-HDF Group (Couch, 1996, <http://ecf.hq.eso.org>). The selection criteria involve the total magnitude, the number of pixels detected above the background level and an automatic star/galaxy classifier. Moreover, form visual inspection of the frames, we excluded the galaxies showing unambiguous late-type morphology. The analysis of the luminosity and geometrical profiles, carried out on the 162 candidates obeying our selection criteria, resulted in a list of 99 'bona fide' early-type galaxies, for which accurate total magnitudes and effective radii were computed on the basis of the equivalent luminosity profiles. The comparison with the magnitudes given by Williams et al. (1996, Cat. <J/AJ/112/1335>) indicates that the automated photometry tends to underestimate the total luminosity of the ellipticals. The luminosity profiles of most of galaxies in our sample follow fairly well the de~Vaucouleurs law ('Normal' profiles). However, a relevant fraction of galaxies, even following the r^1/4^ law in the main body light distribution, exhibit in the inner region a flattening of the luminosity profile not attributable to the PSF (`Flat' profiles) or, in some cases, a complex (multi-nucleus) structure (`Merger' profiles). A statistically significant correlation is found between the shapes of the luminosity profiles and the ellipticity distribution. In particular, the average ellipticity of galaxies belonging to the `Flat' and `Merger' classes is significantly higher than that of the `Normal' galaxies. Finally, even taken into account the relevant uncertainty of the outer position angle profiles, the amount of isophotal twisting of HDF ellipticals turns out to be significantly larger with respect to that of the local samples.

- Description:
- The Hubble Ultra Deep Field (UDF, Principle Investigator: Steven V. W. Beckwith) is a 400-orbit Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Cycle 12 program to image a single field of the Wide Field Camera (WFC) of the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) in four filters: F435W (B), F606W (V), F775W (i), and F850LP (z). The observations took place over 4 months from September 2003 to January 2004 under two program IDs: 9978 and 10086. The observations consist of half-orbit exposures, cycling through each of the filters in a 4-point dither pattern to provide sub-pixel sampling, as well as a larger-scale 3-point line pattern to cover the 2 second of arc gap between the two ACS/WFC chips. The total exposure times are summarized below, with typical exposure times of 1200s for individual images.

The formal i-band catalog contains a total of 10,040 sources. A visual inspection of all the sources revealed an additional 5 spurious sources (which do not form part of the catalog). Moreover, the deblending algorithms in SExtractor caused an additional 100 sources to be missed, owing to their proximity to brighter sources. These sources were identified manually, and formally added by doing another SExtractor run with considerably different deblending parameters, in order to detect them all. An initial list of 208 sources was produced, which was then reduced to a total of 100 sources after visual inspection and rejection of sources that were clearly part of previously identified sources. These additional sources are denoted by ID numbers 20001 - 20208. Although the i-band image is the deepest image, there remain additional sources that were not detected in i-band, even though they may be detected in one of the other bands. Therefore, the authors produced a second catalog based on detection in the z-band image (not part of the present table), and an additional 39 sources are included from this catalog that were detected at > 10 sigma in the z-band image, but were not in the catalog that was run using the i-band image for detection. These additional sources are denoted by ID numbers above 30000.

- Description:
- We describe a new wide-field Hubble Space Telescope survey of the galaxy cluster Cl 0024+16 (z~0.4) consisting of a sparsely sampled mosaic of 39 Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 images that extends to a cluster radius of ~5Mpc. Together with extensive ground-based spectroscopy taken from the literature, augmented with over a hundred newly determined redshifts, this unique data set enables us to examine environmental influences on the properties of cluster members from the inner core to well beyond the virial radius (~1.7Mpc). We catalog photometric measures for 22000 objects to I>~25 and assign morphological types for 2181 to I=22.5, of which 195 are spectroscopically confirmed cluster members.

- Description:
- The original analysis of the star formation history in the NICMOS deep images of the northern Hubble Deep Field (NHDF) is extended to the entire NHDF utilizing NICMOS and WFPC2 archival data. The roughly constant star formation rate from redshifts 16 found in this study is consistent with the original results. Star formation rates from this study, Lyman break galaxies, and submillimeter observations are now in concordance. The spike of star formation at redshift 2 due to two ultraluminous IR galaxies in the small deep NICMOS field is smoothed out in the larger area results presented here. The larger source base of this study allows comparison with predictions from hierarchical galaxy formation models. In general, the observation are consistent with the predictions. The observed luminosity functions at redshifts 16 are presented for future comparisons with theoretical galaxy evolution calculations. Mid- and far-infrared properties of the sources are also calculated and compared with observations. A candidate for the VLA source VLA 3651+1221 is discussed.

- Description:
- We have obtained images of the Trapezium Cluster (140"x140"; 0.3pc x 0.3pc) with the Hubble Space Telescope Near-Infrared Camera and Multi-Object Spectrometer (NICMOS). Combining these data with new ground-based K-band spectra (R=800) and existing spectral types and photometry, we have constructed an H-R diagram and used it and other arguments to infer masses and ages.

- Description:
- We present an analysis of the deepest pure UV observations with the highest angular resolution ever performed, a set of 12 exposures with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 and F160BW filter obtained in parallel observing mode, which covers ~12arcmin^2^ in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), north of the bar, and in the "general field" regime of the LMC. The 341 independent measurements of 198 objects represent an accumulated exposure of >=2x10^4^s and reveal stars as faint as m_UV_~=22mag. The observations show that about two-thirds of the UV emission from the LMC is emitted by our HST-detected UV stars in the field, that is, not in clusters or associations. We identified optical counterparts in the Royal Observatory Edinburgh/Naval Research Laboratory photometric catalog for about one-third of the objects.

- Description:
- We report on the identification of 255 candidate variable stars in a field located some 1.7' from the center of the late-type spiral galaxy M101 = NGC 5457, based on observations made with the Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2 on board the Hubble Space Telescope. Photometric measurements in the F555W and F814W filters - analyzed independently with the DAOPHOT/ALLFRAME and DoPHOT software suites - have been transformed to the Johnson V and Kron-Cousins I standard magnitude systems. Periods and intensity-averaged mean magnitudes for 61 carefully selected candidate Cepheid variables with periods in the range 10-48 days indicate a reddening-corrected mean distance modulus (m-M)_0_=29.05+/-0.14 (if the true modulus of the Large Magellanic Cloud is 18.50+/-0.10, and if there is no dependence of the period-luminosity relation on metal abundance); results consistent with this are obtained whether or not the sample is expanded to include a larger fraction of the candidates. Applying a metallicity-dependent correction of +0.16+/-0.10mag would increase this estimate to (m-M)_0_= 29.21+/-0.17mag.
