The Antennae galaxies (NGC 4038/4039) revisited Advanced Camera for Surveys and NICMOS observations of a prototypical merger. (2010)

Abstract:The Advanced Camera for Surveys and the Near Infrared Camera and Multi-Object Spectrometer (NICMOS) have been used to obtain new Hubble Space Telescope images of NGC 4038/4039 ("The Antennae"). These new observations allow us to better differentiate compact star clusters from individual stars, based on both size and color. ...(more)
Abstract: (hide)
Observations of the main bodies of NGC 4038/39 were made with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), using the ACS, as part of Program GO-10188. Multi-band photometry was obtained in the following optical broadband filters: F435W (~B), F550M (~V), and F814W (~I). Archival F336W photometry of the Antennae (Program GO-5962) was used to supplement our optical ACS/WFC observations. Infrared observations were made using the Near Infrared Camera and Multi-Object Spectrometer (NICMOS) camera on HST as part of Program GO-10188. Observations were made using the NIC2 camera with the F160W, F187N, and F237M filters, and the NIC3 camera with the F110W, F160W, F164W, F187N, and F222M filters.
