This is the homepage of Andrew Fruchter, an astronomer on the staff of the Space Telescope Science Institute . ... Here you can look at an HST images of the optical counterparts of gamma-ray bursts and their host galaxies. ... Therefore, substantial information on the fine scale structure of objects can be obtained by offsetting the pointing of the telescope between exposures and then combining these "dithered" exposures into a single image. ...
ST-ECF Instrument Science Report ACS 2001-003 ACS Grism Simulations using SLIM 1.0 N. Pirzkal, A. Pasquali, J. R. Walsh, R. N. Hook, W. Freudling, R. Albrecht, R.A.E. Fosbury April 4, 2001 ABSTRACT We introduce SLIM, a slitless spectroscopy simulator written in Python which can be used to simulate the ACS grism and prism modes. ... We have thus developed a simulator called SLIM which is able to disperse an input spectrum in a well-controlled manner. ... Can simulate multiple order grism observations. ...
... Complex astrophysical phenomena could now be studied spectroscopically: the X-ray absorption line forest intrinsic to Seyfert galaxies; the interaction between AGN jets and intracluster media; hot winds of starburst galaxies; stellar coronal plasmas; the charge -exchange emission of Mars' exosphere; the X-ray irradiation of protoplanetary disks; and the myst erious flat-topped spectral line shapes of O star winds. ... We estimate that Gen-X will be able to detect and resolve 20, 000 stars in NGC...

CORES OR CUSPS IN ELLIPTICAL GALAXIES: LUMINOSITY OR ENVIRONMENT? ... The low lumi nosity disky galaxies have `hard' cores with a steep slope in the luminosity profile at small radii, whereas the luminous galaxies have `soft' cores with flat profiles at small radii (e.g. Faber et al. ... Coma Cluster cores In the gas/stellar continuum paradigm, one would expect that in the outer parts of a cluster it is more likely that the last merger was gaseous than in its central regions. ...
