HST Archival Pure Parallels Project

DOI

The Archival Pure Parallel Project processed and combined about 2,000 WFPC2 images, primarily in the wide UBVI filters, obtained in parallel with other HST instruments. Combined, drizzled, cosmic-ray cleaned images were produced for each pointing. These data can be used to address a wide range of science topics: measuring the cosmic shear on scales from 20" to 2'; discovering ~ 50 starforming galaxies at z ~ 4; finding optical counterparts to AGNs in wide-area radio and X-ray catalogs; improving the determination of the scale length of the Galactic disk; and studying stellar populations down to 1 solar mass for about 25 separate lines of sight in the Magellanic Clouds.
