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

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

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.
Deep Optical Photometry of Six Fields in the Andromeda Galaxy

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.
HST ACS Coma cluster (Abell 1656) Treasury Survey (COMA)

Description:
The HST ACS Coma cluster Treasury survey is a deep two-passband imaging survey of one of the nearest rich clusters of galaxies, the Coma cluster (Abell 1656).
In January 2005, the Hubble Heritage Team obtained a large 4-color mosaic image of the Whirlpool Galaxy NGC 5194 (M51), and its companion NGC 5195, with the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) onboard the Hubble Space Telescope (HST observing program 10452, PI: Steven V. W. Beckwith). A six-pointing ACS WFC mosaic of the galaxy pair M51 was obtained in four filters: B, V, I, and H-alpha.
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.
GEMs is a large-area (800 arcmin 2) two-color (F606W and F850LP) imaging survey with the Advanced Camera for Surveys on the Hubble Space Telescope. Centered on the Chandra Deep Field-South, it covers an area of ~ 28'x28', or about 120 HDF areas, to a depth of MAB(F606W)=28.5(5s) for compact sources. Focusing on the redshift range ~ 0.2<z<1.1, GEMS provides morphologies and structural parameters for nearly 10,000 galaxies where redshift estimates, luminosities, and SEDs exist from COMBO-17.
The "TNO Search Field" images are the sidereally summed images of a search for trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) using the Wide Field Camera of the HST/ACS instrument. The observations were taken under Cycle 11 program GO-9433, "The Size Distribution of Kuiper Belt Bodies," with G. Bernstein as PI. The TNO search consisted of approximately 96x400 s exposures in the F606W filter for each of six contiguous ACS fields of view. The TNO search field is approximately 6'x10', centered near 14h 07M 53.3s -11d 21' 38" (J2000).
