Abstract:
The ACS Virgo Cluster Survey is a large program to carry out
multicolor imaging of 100 early-type members of the Virgo Cluster
using the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) on the Hubble Space
Telescope. Deep F475W and F850LP images (∼SDSS g and z) are being used
to study the central regions of the program galaxies, their globular
cluster systems, and the three-dimensional structure of Virgo itself.
In this paper, we describe in detail the data reduction procedures
used for the survey, including image registration, drizzling
strategies, the computation of weight images, object detection, the
identification of globular cluster candidates, and the measurement of
their photometric and structural parameters.
