Session 9 - The Hubble Deep Field. ... The Hubble Deep Field (HDF) experiment is a unique project to explore at unprecedented depth and angular resolution the faintest and most distant galaxies. ... This allows study of broad-band spectral energy distribution, morphology and number count statistics for galaxies that span the largest, if not the whole, time interval of galaxy history. ... Here we present preliminary number counts, color-magnitude and color-color diagrams for the 4 HDF frames. ...

K-band Arcetri Obscured Supernova Search . What is the KAOSS Project? W hat is the KAOSS Project? Some recent surveys aimed at detecting Supernovae (SNe) in the optical have found that starburst galaxies do not show evidence for an enhanced SN rate, with respect to quiescent galaxies (Richmond et al. ... A similar result was obtained by Navasardyan et al. (2001) who looked for SNe in interacting galaxies, finding no evidence for correlations between SN rate and galaxy properties. ...
