Non-Proprietary ("snapshot") Survey II Round 2
Abstract
Whenever the automatic scheduler produces a substantial gap between observations, the Wide Field/Planetary Camera will be used to image a nearby object selected from a list of several hundred low redshift quasars, normal galaxies, peculiar galaxies, and standard survey fields. HST observations will reveal details of the immediate environment of quasars, the nuclei of normal galaxies, the morphology of peculiar galaxies, and the star density in selected fields. The purpose of this program is to increase the efficiency of the HST and to provide scientific data that can be used by many different astronomers. The images acquired in this program will be non-proprietary and will be made available to qualified astronomers via the HST archival system. With the approval of the Director of STScI, the images can also be used for public relations purposes by appropriate NASA anad STScI personnel.
