V838 Monocerotis: A Geometric Distance from Hubble Space Telescope Polarimetric Imaging of its Light Echo
William B. Sparks, Howard E. Bond, Misty Cracraft +10
Following the outburst of the unusual variable star V838 Monocerotis in 2002, a spectacular light echo appeared. A light echo provides the possibility of direct geometric distance…
Long gamma-ray bursts and core-collapse supernovae have different environments
A. S. Fruchter, A. J. Levan, L. Strolger +30
When massive stars exhaust their fuel they collapse and often produce the extraordinarily bright explosions known as core-collapse supernovae. On occasion, this stellar collapse al…
Image-Processing Techniques for the Creation of Presentation-Quality Astronomical Images
T. A. Rector, Z. G. Levay, L. M. Frattare +2
The quality of modern astronomical data, the power of modern computers and the agility of current image-processing software enable the creation of high-quality images in a purely d…
Faint Galaxies in deep ACS observations
N. Benitez, H. Ford, R. Bouwens +33
We present the analysis of the faint galaxy population in the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) Early Release Observation fields VV 29 (UGC 10214) and NGC 4676. Here we attempt to…
An energetic stellar outburst accompanied by circumstellar light echoes
Howard E. Bond, Arne Henden, Zoltan G. Levay +6
Some classes of stars, including supernovae and novae, undergo explosive outbursts that eject stellar material into space. In 2002, the previously unknown variable star V838 Monoce…
WFPC2 Observations of the Hubble Deep Field-South
Stefano Casertano, Duilia de Mello, Mark Dickinson +14
The Hubble Deep Field-South observations targeted a high-galactic-latitude field near QSO J2233-606. We present WFPC2 observations of the field in four wide bandpasses centered at…
