Cluster Evolution Since z~1
R. Demarco, J. P. Blakeslee, H. C. Ford +8
We have used the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) on the HST to obtain optical imaging of a sample of 8 galaxy clusters in the redshift range 0.8 < z < 1.3. The ACS data provides…
Planetary Nebulae in NGC 5128 (Centaurus A)
Eric W. Peng, Holland C. Ford, Kenneth C. Freeman
The study of planetary nebulae (PNe) in the nearby post-merger elliptical galaxy NGC 5128 (Cen A) now has a history of nearly twenty years. As the nearest giant elliptical, it is a…
HST/ACS Coronagraphic Imaging of the AU Microscopii Debris Disk
John E. Krist, D. R. Ardila, D. A. Golimowski +5
We present {\it Hubble Space Telescope} Advanced Camera for Surveys multicolor coronagraphic images of the recently discovered edge-on debris disk around the nearby ( pc) M…
Calibration of Geometric Distortion in the ACS Detectors
G. R. Meurer, D. Lindler, J. P. Blakeslee +9
The off-axis location of the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) is the chief (but not sole) cause of strong geometric distortion in all detectors: the Wide Field Camera (WFC), High…
A search for clusters at high redshift - II. A proto cluster around a radio galaxy at z=2.16
L. Pentericci, J. D. Kurk, H. J. A Rottgering +7
VLT spectroscopic observations of Ly alpha--excess objects in the field of the clumpy radio galaxy 1138-262 at z=2.16 have led to the discovery of 14 galaxies and one QSO at approx…
Search for clusters at high redshift - I. Candidate Lya emitters near 1138-262 at z=2.2
J. D. Kurk, H. J. A. Rottgering, L. Pentericci +7
Radio, optical and X-ray observations of the powerful radio galaxy PKS 1138-262 at z=2.156 have suggested that this galaxy is a massive galaxy in the center of a forming cluster. W…
