Scientific paper

We propose a quick imaging survey of the nearby luminous spiral galaxy M81with the ACS in F814W. After Andromeda, M81 is the nearest big intermediate type spiral galaxy and is thus a primary candidate for stellar population studies. At 3.8 Mpc, 1ACS WFC pixel is 1 pc. We will cover the inner part of the galaxy where confusion is the greatest problem in cluster studies, with 24 ACS fields. This survey will provide the sample and spatial information necessary to study the globular and open cluster systems of M81, spatial distribution, metallicity, object size distribution, the GCLF, etc., in exquisite detail especially when combined with our existing ground-based multicolor imaging and planned spectroscopy.
