1. ACS Galactic Globular Cluster Survey (ACSGGCT)
ID:

Title:
ACS Galactic Globular Cluster Survey (ACSGGCT)
Short Name:
HST.ACSGGCT
Date:
22 Jul 2020 22:26:50
Publisher:
Space Telescope Science Institute Archive
Description:
The ACSGGCT program used the HST ACS/WFC instrument to obtain uniform imaging of 65 of the nearest globular clusters to provide an extensive homogeneous dataset for a broad range of scientific investigations. An overview of the project was published by Sarajedini, A. et al. 2007, "The ACS Survey of Galactic Globular Clusters. I. Overview and Clusters Without Previous Hubble Space Telescope Photometry" AJ, 133, 1658.
2. Archive of Nearby Galaxies: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle (ANGRRR)

Title:
Archive of Nearby Galaxies: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle (ANGRRR)
Short Name:
HST.ANGRRR

Publisher:
Space Telescope Science Institute Archive
Description:
An archive of stellar photometry for galaxies within 3.5 Mpc, excluding Local Group galaxies, based on primary and parallel wide-filter UV and optical observations taken with HST ACS/WFC or WFPC2.The sample includes all observations taken through Dec. 2008, as well as observations taken as part of Cycle 16 Supplemental GO programs 11986 and 11987. This release includes the ANGST targets within 3.5 Mpc; these observations have been rereduced using updated CTE corrections and zeropoints. Galaxies with 3.5 < D <= 5 Mpc will be included in a later release.

Title:
Cluster Lensing And Supernova survey with Hubble (CLASH)
Short Name:
HST.CLASH

Publisher:
Space Telescope Science Institute Archive
Description:
By observing 25 massive galaxy clusters with HST's new panchromatic imaging capabilities (Wide-field Camera 3, WFC3, and the Advanced Camera for Surveys, ACS), CLASH will accomplish its four primary science goals: - Map, with unprecedented accuracy, the distribution of dark matter in galaxy clusters using strong and weak gravitational lensing; - Detect Type Ia supernovae out to redshift z ~ 2, allowing us to test the constancy of dark energy's repulsive force over time and look for any evolutionary effects in the supernovae themselves; - Detect and characterize some of the most distant galaxies yet discovered at z > 7 (when the Universe was younger than 800 million years old - or less than 6% of its current age); - Study the internal structure and evolution of the galaxies in and behind these clusters.

Title:
Deep Optical Photometry of Six Fields in the Andromeda Galaxy
Short Name:
HST.Andromeda
Date:

Publisher:
Space Telescope Science Institute Archive
Description:
Using the Advanced Camera for Surveys on the Hubble Space Telescope, Thomas Brown (STScI) et al. obtained deep optical images reaching well below the oldest main sequence turnoff in six fields of the Andromeda Galaxy. The fields fall at four positions on the southeast minor axis, one position in the giant stellar stream, and one position on the northeast major axis. These data were obtained as part of three large observing programs (9453, 10265, 10816) designed to probe the star formation history of the stellar population in various structures of the galaxy.

Title:
HST Cosmic Evolution Survey
Short Name:
HST.COSMOS

Publisher:
Space Telescope Science Institute Archive
Description:
COSMOS (P.I. Nicholas Scoville, California Institute of Technology, USA/CA) is an HST Treasury Program to survey a 2 square degree equatorial field, centered on RA=10:00:28.6 and DEC=+02:12:21.0 with the ACS in the I band of the VIMOS equatorial field. Parallel observations with WFPC2 and NICMOS were also obtained.
6. Hubble Infrared Pure Parallel Imaging Extragalactic Survey (HIPPIES)

Title:
Hubble Infrared Pure Parallel Imaging Extragalactic Survey (HIPPIES)
Short Name:
HST.HIPPIES
Date:

Publisher:
Space Telescope Science Institute Archive
Description:
Hubble Infrared Pure Parallel Imaging Extragalactic Survey (HIPPIES) utilizes long-duration pure parallel visits (~> 3 orbits) of HST at high Galactic latitude (|b|>20o) to take deep, multi-band images in WFC3 (since Cycle 17) and in ACS (starting Cycle 18). It is unique in its large number of descrete fields along random sightlines, and thus is complementary to other surveys over contiguous fields but along limited sightlines.
