Scientific paper

The Magellanic Clouds, because of their well-determined distance and small extinction, allow an unprecedented opportunity to observe many ISM phenomena occurring in a whole galaxy. The HST resolution (0.1" = 0.025 pc) offers detail hitherto poorly studied in the extragalactic context on the morphology and spatial relationships in various ISM processes associated with the evolution of Population I and Population II systems. This long term (13 yr) parallel program exploits these opportunities by obtaining WF/PC images of appropriate targets that are accessible at the same time as primary pointings. The number of parallel observations per Cycle is estimated at ~20; and our intent is to accumulate a significant archive of Magellanic Cloud direct images over the life of the program. The parallel targets, to be specified in Phase II of each HST Cycle, will include (or search for) compact H II regions, proto-stellar and maser regions, reflection nebulae, Herbig-Haro objects, stellar ejecta, SNR and wind-driven shells, supershells, planetary nebulae, Very Low Excitation nebulae and candidates for proto-planetary nebulae. The observations will be primarily in the Balmer lines and the stronger forbidden lines, with supplemental continuum images as required.
