... Incorrect Resolution Element Used by COS ETC for new G130M Modes . ... HST Overview . ... The resolving power of the two new COS/FUV G130M modes (cenwave=1055 and cenwave=1096) decreases with increasing wavelength, from R ~ 3000 at 950 ? ... Since the ETC uses a 6-pixel resolution element that is 5 and 19 times smaller, respectively, it will overestimate the time required to achieve a certain S/N per 30-pixel or 115-pixel resolution element, while underestimating the S/N obtained for a given time. ...
... The science from both these missions contributed to three of the Nobel Prizes Giacconi (2002), Mather, and Smoot (2006) - awarded for NASA-based science. ... We encourage NASA to seek new launch capabilities to fill this strategic gap in moderate lift rockets to enable the Explorer program to continue launching missions with significant science payoff but reduced costs and timescales compared to large strategic missions. ... 18 Appendix B: Explorer Missions 1989-present (From PILMSS) No . ...
ST-ECF Instrument Science Report ACS 2003-001 The in-orbit wavelength calibration of the WFC G800L grism A. Pasquali, N. Pirzkal, J.R. Walsh March 5, 2003 ABSTRACT We present the G800L grism spectra of the Wolf-Rayet stars WR45 and WR96 acquired with the Wide Field Channel during the Servicing Mission Orbital Verification (SMOV) tests and the early Cycle 11 INTERIM calibration programme. ... The grism 1st order spectra of WR45 (left) and WR96 (right) are shown in Figure 6. ...
CORES OR CUSPS IN ELLIPTICAL GALAXIES: LUMINOSITY OR ENVIRONMENT? ... The low lumi nosity disky galaxies have `hard' cores with a steep slope in the luminosity profile at small radii, whereas the luminous galaxies have `soft' cores with flat profiles at small radii (e.g. Faber et al. ... Coma Cluster cores In the gas/stellar continuum paradigm, one would expect that in the outer parts of a cluster it is more likely that the last merger was gaseous than in its central regions. ...
