Hst Proposal Id #6340 Galaxies &Amp, Clusters

Scientific paper

The HDF experiment consists of WFPC2 imaging through the F300W, F450W, F606W, and F814W passbands of one selected field of the sky for 150 orbits of CVZ time. The program will provide multi-wavelength data of unprecedented depth on morphology and spectral energy distribution of faint field galaxies. This proposal consists of ten orbits of observations of flanking fields adjacent to the central HDF field designed primarily for the benefit of ground-based long-slit spectroscopy and for possible follow-up with future HST instruments such as the Advanced Camera, etc. We will use only the F814W passband in this flanking fields program. There are 8 flanking fields, two on either side of the deep field thus forming a strip on the sky, plus two above and two below which allow more flexibility in the angles chosen by ground-based observers for long-slit spectroscopy as well as increasing the area covered for possible follow-up with the Advanced Camera and/or other instruments. The two flanking fields that are in the strip adjacent to the central HDF field will have two orbits of exposures each, with all the rest having a single orbit.
