... To be read in conjunction with Section 4.11 of the WFPC2 Instrument Handbook , -Version 4.0. ... 1 The second study found evidence that CTE loss for faint stars has increased with time (Whitmore, 1998). The primary observational consequence of CTE loss is that a point source at the top of the chip appears to be fainter than if observed at the bottom of the chip, due to the loss of electrons as the star is read out down the chip (see Figure 1 ). ...

... Calibration and analysis of this observation posed very interesting challenges for the authors, in particular dealing with an exciting new instrument whose on-orbit calibration was not yet well defined. ... Five mosaic positions were observed during five consecutive orbits as well as observations for dark and flat calibration. ... Darks and flats had to be created from contemporaneous reference observations and problems within the calibration process had to be resolved. ...

ALMA will provide a major leap forward in our capabilities of studying the high-redshift universe, especially the first galaxies. ... These first galaxies are also found to cluster relatively strongly, and are expected to form proto-clusters, later growing to be the fully-formed galaxy clusters we see in the local Universe....

Starbursts are short-lived events, stars are forming so quickly that the reservoirs of interstellar gas from which stars are coalescing would be used up on a timescale much shorter than the age of the galaxy . ... Strong stellar winds from giant new stars in the starburst region combine with the blasts of supernovae to push a mighty flood of extremely hot gas, a ?superwind? from the galaxy thousands of light years into intergalactic space. ...
