The STIS Parallel Survey: Introduction and First Results
J. P. Gardner, R. S. Hill, S. A. Baum +15
The installation of the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) allows for the first time two-dimensional optical and ultraviolet slitless s…
Imaging and spectroscopy of arcs around the most luminous X-ray cluster RX J1347.5-1145
Kailash C. Sahu, Richard A. Shaw, Mary Elizabeth Kaiser +9
The cluster RX J1347.5-1145, the most luminous cluster in the X-ray wavelengths, was imaged with the newly installed Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) on-board HST. Its r…
UV Emission from Elliptical Galaxies Near and Far
Henry C. Ferguson, Thomas M. Brown
The far-ultraviolet is the most rapidly evolving portion of the spectrum in both very young galaxies and very old galaxies. The ``UV upturn'' in the spectra of elliptical galaxies…
A Far Ultraviolet Analysis of the Stellar Populations in Six Elliptical and S0 Galaxies
T. M. Brown, H. C. Ferguson, A. F. Davidsen +1
We have analyzed the far-ultraviolet (FUV) spectra of six elliptical and S0 galaxies in order to characterize their hot stellar populations. The spectra were obtained using the Hop…
