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. ...
ST-ECF Instrument Science Report ACS 2001-003 ACS Grism Simulations using SLIM 1.0 N. Pirzkal, A. Pasquali, J. R. Walsh, R. N. Hook, W. Freudling, R. Albrecht, R.A.E. Fosbury April 4, 2001 ABSTRACT We introduce SLIM, a slitless spectroscopy simulator written in Python which can be used to simulate the ACS grism and prism modes. ... We have thus developed a simulator called SLIM which is able to disperse an input spectrum in a well-controlled manner. ... Can simulate multiple order grism observations. ...
... 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 . ...
