Scientific paper

The target is a selected field within "Baade's Window" where the stellar population of the galactic bulge can be observed with less obscuration than in neighboring areas. It lies 3.8 degrees from the direction to the galactic center. The bulge population is known to contain stars more metal-rich than those found anywhere else in the Galaxy, and it is believed to be similar to the stellar population in elliptical galaxies. The goal of this HST-WF/PC program is to extend the H-R diagram and luminosity function of the bulge population to much fainter limits than possible with groundbased tele- scopes. The inferred IMF will be compared with those of less metal-rich populations.
