... WFIRST . ... Missions . ... Science . ... The design reference mission described in the Final Report of the WFIRST-AFTA Science Definition Team has two instruments to execute the mission science program : . ... The WFI will have 6 imaging filters, a grism (for redshift measurements in support of BAO science), and an Integral Field Unit (IFU) for spectroscopic characterization of supernovae. ... A three-tiered WFI supernova survey, with both imaging and IFU spectroscopy, taking a total of 0.6 years. ...
... 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 2001-002 The Effective Spectral Resolution of the WFC and HRC Grism A. Pasquali, N. Pirzkal, J.R. Walsh, R.N. Hook, W. Freudling, R. Albrecht, R.A.E. Fosbury March 7, 2001 ABSTRACT We present SLIM simulations of the size and orientation with respect to by which the object extension along resolution of the grism. ... In the case of ACS, the nominal spectral resolution is 40 е/pix and 29 е/pix in the first order spectra of the WFC and HRC grism, respectively. ...

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. ...
