Extended downtime noticeDue to a planned outage on Friday, April 12th starting at noon through Sunday, April 14th, access to this site will be unavailable during this time. We apologize for any inconvenience. New HST ACS and WFC3 Imaging of the Veil NebulaSeptember 24, 2015Home | Data Access | README file |
New observations of the Veil Nebula (Cygnus Loop) were obtained in April 2015 by the Hubble Heritage Team. These include 6 tiles in a 3x2 mosaic with the WFC3/UVIS channel in three narrowband and two broadband filters (Fig. 1). Parallel observations with the ACS/WFC were also obtained to create an H-alpha mosaic adjacent to and overlapping the WFC3 H-alpha mosaic (Fig. 2). A summary of the observations is given in Table 1, while the footprints are labeled in Figure 3. For more details on the observing strategy, see the proposal 14056, PI: Zolt Levay and the README file.
