Introduction

The Large Legacy Treasury Program "The HST Legacy Survey of Galactic Globular Clusters: Shedding UV Light on Their Populations and Formation" (GO-13297, PI: G. Piotto, 131 orbits) is a UV-initiative proposal to complement the existing F606W and F814W database of "An ACS Survey of Galactic Globular Cluster" (GO-10775, PI: A. Sarajedini, 134 orbits) by imaging a large sample of clusters through UV/blue WFC3/UVIS filters F275W, F336W and F438W. Because these three filters are sensitive to C, N, and O abundance variations, they allow us to disentangle and characterize multiple populations in globular clusters. Combination of these UV/blue filters with the optical ones also gives the opportunity to measure the helium content of each population.

Our resulting final database contains catalogs and astrometrised stacked images of 56 globular clusters and one open cluster observed during the GO-13297 (PI: Piotto) and the two pilot projects GO-12311 (PI: Piotto) and GO-12605 (PI: Piotto). For each cluster we release 3 catalogs, one for each photometric method adopted. The catalogs contain information on the positions and on the photometry in five bands (F275W, F336W, F438W, F606W, and F814W) of each star found in the cluster field. The catalogs also include membership probability. You can refer to the full collection of HUGS data products using the DOI http://dx.doi.org/10.17909/T9810F.

Description of Data Products

Each cluster is organized into their own subdirectory. Each cluster has multiple files with the following prefix:

hlsp_hugs_hst_<ins>_<targ>_<filt>_v1_<exten>
where:
  • <ins> = instrument name ("acs-wfc", "wfc3-uvis", or "wfc3-uvis-acs-wfc")
  • <targ> = target cluster, e.g., "ngc6791"
  • <filt> = the filter used, e.g., "f606w", or sometimes "multi" for some file types
  • <exteng> = file extension, which correspond to the following:
    • stack-????s.fits: stacked image for a given filter reported to the exposure time of the deepest among the images used to obtain the stacked image
    • catalog-meth?.txt: astro-photometric catalog obtained with a give photometric method
    • cmd.png: example of F275W versus F275W-F336W color-magnitude diagram
    • rgb.tif: RGB image of the cluster obtained with F275W, F336W, F438W stacked images

A mosaic of HUGS clusters.

Data Access

The stack FITS images are available for the different exposure times in the filter columns in the table below. The catalog files for each of the three methods and the color-magnitude diagrams and RGB color images are also available in the table (note the RGB images are large and may take a long time to fully display in your browser). Finally, the last column contains a .tar.gz file with all data products for a given cluster, for those who want to download all the files for a given cluster. Note: The same data can also be retrieved at the team's homepage, http://groups.dfa.unipd.it/ESPG/treasury.php
