Abstract:
We present the imaging observations made with the Space Telescope
Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) of the Hubble Deep Field South. The field
was imaged in four bandpasses: a clear CCD bandpass for 156ks, a
long-pass filter for 22-25ks/pix typical exposure, a near-UV bandpass
for 23ks, and a far-UV bandpass for 52ks. The clear, visible image is
the deepest observation ever made in the UV-optical wavelength region,
reaching a 10σAB magnitude of 29.4 for an object of area
0.2arcsec2. The field contains QSO J2233-606, the target of the STIS
spectroscopy, and extends 50"x50" for the visible images, and 25"x25"
for the ultraviolet images. We present the images, catalog of objects,
and galaxy counts obtained in the field.

Note (1): The x and y pixel positions of the object on the 50CCD and
F28X50LP images. To obtain the x and y pixel positions on the MAMA
images, subtract 400 from each.
Note (2): The magnitudes are given in the AB system (Oke, 1971ApJ...170..193O 1971ApJ...170..193O),
where m=-2.5logfν-48.60.
The isophotal magnitude is determined from the sum of the counts
within the detection isophote, set to be 0.65σ.
The MAG_AUTO is an elliptical Kron (1980ApJS...43..305K 1980ApJS...43..305K) magnitude,
determined from the sum of the counts in an elliptical aperture. The
semimajor axis of this aperture is defined by 2.5 times the first
moments of the flux distribution within an ellipse roughly twice the
isophotal radius. However if the aperture defined this way would have
a semimajor axis smaller than 3.5 pixels, a 3.5 pixel value is used.
Note (3): Isophotal color, 50CCD-F28X50LP, in the AB magnitude system,
as determined in the 50CCD isophote. SExtractor was run in two-image
mode to determine the photometry in the F28X50LP image, using the
50CCD image as the detection image. When the measured F28X50LP flux is
less than 2σ, we determine an upper limit to the color using the
flux plus 2σ when the measured flux is positive and 2σ
when the measured flux is negative. We did not clip the 50CCD
photometry.
Note (4): Isophotal colors, NUVQTZ-50CCD and FUVQTZ-50CCD, in the
AB magnitude system. Photometry in the MAMA images are discussed
above. Photometry of objects falling partially outside the MAMA image
are flagged and should not be considered reliable. When the measured
flux is less than 2σ, we give lower limits to the color as
discussed above.
Note (5): The half-light radius was determined by SExtractor to be
the radius at which a circular aperture contains half of the flux in
the MAG_AUTO elliptical aperture.
Note (6): A star-galaxy classification parameter determined by a neural
network within SExtractor, and based upon the morphology of the object
in the 50CCD images (see Bertin & Arnouts, 1996A&AS..117..393B 1996A&AS..117..393B, for a
detailed description of the neural network). Classifications near 1.0
are more like a point source, while classifications near 0.0 are more
extended.
Note (7): Flags are a combination of the following peculiarities:
a = object has near neighbors (50CCD)
b = object was originally blended with another (50CCD)
c = at least one pixel is saturated (50CCD)
d = object's aperture data is incomplete or corrupted (50CCD)
e = object is off the image or within 30 pixels of the edge (50CCD)
f = object lies on top of a diffraction spike (50CCD)
g = photometry is from the second run of SExtractor (50CCD)
h = object is off the image or within 30 pixels of the edge (F28X50LP)
i = object lies on top of a diffraction spike (F28X50LP)
j = photometry is from the second run of SExtractor (F28X50LP)
k = object is completely off the image (NUV)
l = object is partially off the image (NUV)
m = used global sky value (NUV)
n = object is completely off the image (FUV)
o = object is partially off the image (FUV)
p = used global sky value (FUV)
q = target QSO J2233-606.
