The HST Treasury Program on the Orion Nebula Cluster
Orion Nebula HST ACS
The Orion Nebula hosts the richest cluster of young Pre-Main-Sequence
stars within 1 kpc from the Sun and therefore represents an
ideal laboratory to understand the process of star formation.
The exquisite sensitivity and spatial resolution of the
Hubble Space Telescope are providing unique data on this region.
In particular, the HST Treasury Program on the Orion
Nebula cluster (GO-10246, PI M. Robberto) has obtained deep
multi-color photometry of thousand of sources well into
the brown-dwarf regime, complemented by a rich set of ancillary
data from ground-based observatories.
This page is intended to provide access to the reduced data
of GO-10246, with links to recent publications, associated data, and modeling tools used to analyze the data.
These data will be released in 2010.
This initial data release contains images obtained with two gound-based observatories:
the ISPI camera at the CTIO observatory on the nights of Jan 1-2, 2005; and the
WFI camera at the ESO/MPIA 2.2m telescope on the nights of Jan 1-2, 2005.
The ISPI data have been presented Robberto et al, AJ (2009, in press). The WFI data have been presented by Da Rio et al. ApJS 183, 261 (2009).
