Scientific paper

In March 2006, the Hubble Heritage Team obtained a large 4-color (B, V, I, and H-alpha) mosaic image of the prototypical starburst galaxy NGC 3034 (M82), with the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) onboard the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). The resulting color composite Heritage image was released in April 2006, to celebrate Hubble's 16th anniversary. M82 hosts the nearest (D=3.6 Mpc) example of a giant starburst, with many key processes, such as super star clusters, ISM interfaces, and outflows, occurring on scales that require HST's high angular resolution for their study.Cycle 15 HST proposers were encouraged to submit General Observer and Archival Research proposals to complement and/or analyze this unique dataset. Since our M82 mosaics represent a significant investment of expert processing beyond the standard archival products, we will also release our drizzle-combined FITS data as a High-Level Science Product via the Multimission Archive at STScI (MAST) in December 2006. At that time, we will document the key aspects of the observing program and image processing in a separate publication. See:http://archive.stsci.edu/prepds/m82/
