... With a redshift of 2.3, the IRAS source FSC 10214+4724 is apparently one of the most luminous objects known in the Universe. ... The most straightforward interpretation is that FSC 10214+4724 is gravitationally lensed by the foreground elliptical galaxy, with the faint component a counterimage of the IRAS source. ... The background lensed source has an intrinsic luminosity , and remains a highly luminous quasar with an extremely large ratio of infrared to optical/ultraviolet luminosity. ...
... 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 . ...

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. ...
... The location of the +1st spectral order relative to the source positions in the direct imaging filters F098M and F105W are determined, field dependent trace and wavelength solutions are derived, and the absolute throughput is quantified. ... Generally, there is good agreement (<= 1 pixel) with the calibration solutions derived during the ground calibrations in TV2 and TV3. ... 11 2 ST-ECF Technical Instrument Report WFC3-2009-18 Figure 5: Linear fit for the wavelength solution of the G102 grism. ...
