HST image of NGC 3372, the Carina nebula |
The Carina nebula, or NGC 3372, is a young, star-forming region lying at a distance of ~2 kpc in the southern Milky Way. This program will use ACS and WFPC2 to survey much of the nebula using narrow-passband filters centred on or near H-alpha. Carina provides an important link between well-studied nearby H II regions like Orion, and more distant mini-starbusts like 30 Doradus. The present observations will permit a census of microjets, proplyds, and silhouette disks with diameters as small as 200 AU, besides providing the first catalog of outflows (jets) from embedded low-mass stars, thin filamentary shocks, and wind-wind collisions in Carina. |
The high-redshift galaxy cluster RXJ0152-13 (z=0.83) [VRIJK image from ESO science archive] |
Type Ia supernovae are believed to originate in the explosive deflagration of white dwarfs in binary systems. They have acquired increasing importance as cosmological tracers over the last decade. However, the formation rate of SN-Ia remains weakly constrained, particularly at moderate and high redshifts. This program aims to tackle this issue through observations of several massive galaxy clusters at redshifts between 0.5 and 0.9. Besides constraining the SN-Ia rate, these observations should also shed light on the time delay between the first onset of star formation and the appearance of SN-Ia. |

Planet formation occurs within young circumstellar disks. Edge-on systems provide a particularly useful means of studying this environment, since the parent star is obscured, allowing more details of disk structure and morphology to emerge. Previous observations of several disks have revealed interesting differences in the wavelength dependence of scattering, suggesting different particle-size distributions and, perhaps, different grain growth histories. The present program targets 15 edge-on disks for high-resolution optical (ACS) and infrared (NICMOS) imaging, significantly expanding the sample of objects available for detailed analysis of dust properties. |
The X-ray jet of 4C19.44 |
Highly collimated jets are common features of active galactic nuclei and quasars. 4C 19.44, variously described as a quasar and a Seyfert 1, was originally identified as a radio source in the 4C survey. Radio observations also revealed an extended jet, which is also evident at X-ray wavelengths. The present program aims to use ACS to obtain high-resolution images of the system in the F475W and F814W filters, allowing a detailed comparison of the structure of jet at radio, optical and X-ray wavelengths. |
