GO 12099: Cosmic Assembly Near-IR Deep Extragalactic Legacy Survey - SNe follow-up
High redshift supernovae from HST observations in previous cycles | CANDELS is one of three Multi-Cycle Treasury Program, whose observations will be executed over the next three HST Cycles. It builds on past investment of both space- and ground-based observational resources. In particular, it includes coverage of the two fields of the Great Observatory Origins Deep Survey (GOODS), centred on the northern Hubble Deep Field (HDF) in Ursa Major and the Chandra Deep Field-South in Fornax. In addition to deep HST data at optical and near-infrared wavelengths, the fields have been covered at X-ray wavelengths by Chandra (obviously) and XMM-Newton; at mid-infrared wavelengths with Spitzer; and ground-based imaging and spectroscopy using numerous telescopes, including the Kecks, Surbaru and the ESO VLT. This represents an accumulation of almost 1,000 orbits of HST time, and comparable scale allocations on Chandra, Spitzer and ground-based facilities. The CANDELS program is capitalising on this large investment, with new observations with WFC3 and ACS on both GOODS fields, and on three other fields within the COSMOS, EGS and UDS survey areas (see this link for more details). The prime aims of the program are twofold: reconstructing the history of galaxy formation, star formation and nuclear galactic activity at redshifts between z=8 and z=1.5; and searching for high-redshift supernovae to measure their properties at redshifts between z~1 and z~2. The program incorporates a tiered set of observations that complement, in areal coverage and depth, the deep UDF observations, while the timing of individual observations will be set to permit detection of high redshift SNe candidates, for subsequent separate follow-up. The present observations target a high-redshift supernova identified in the course of the survey imaging. |
GO 12161: Accretion in Close Pre-Main-Sequence Binaries
Wide-field image, from NOAO, of the young binary star, T Tauri, and its immediate environs | Young stars retain dense, dust and gas-rich circumstellar disks during the earliest stages of their formation and evolution. Observations of clusters and young associations suggest that these disks are present for at least the first 10 Myrs of the star's existence during which time the stars are generally given the T tauri classification. During this phase, there is substantial accretion of material onto the central star, leading to heating of the inner regions of the accretion disk, and significant emission at ultraviolet and X-ray wavelengths. Close binary stars are no exception to this paradigm, but the dynamics of the system tend to strongly truncate the individual circumstellar disks, but also lead to the formation of a large, circumbinary disk of material surrounding both stars. Previous HST programs (e.g. GO 10840 ; GO 11616 ) have used the STIS and the ACS/SBC to investigate accretion processes at FUV wavelengths in(primarily) single T Tauria. The present program will use COS to extend those investigations to the known binaries DQ Tau and UZ Tau E. COS will be used to measure the emission profiles of an extensive number of lines, probing opacities, temperatures and densities in the disk and outflow regions, and testing models for the magnetic structrue and accretion flows in young binary systems. |
