We have used the Advanced Camera for Surveys aboard the Hubble Space Telescope to obtain F435W, F555W and F814W single-epoch images of six fields in the spiral galaxy NGC 300.

The Tolman Surface Brightness Test for the Reality of the Expansion. II. The Effect of the Point-Spread Function and Galaxy Ellipticity on the Derived Photometric Parameters [PDF]
To complete the Tolman surface brightness test on the reality of the expansion of the Universe, we need to measure accurately the surface brightness profiles of the high-redshift galaxy sample.

A Snapshot Survey of Nearby Supernovae with the Hubble Space Telescope
Over recent decades, robotic (or highly automated) searches for supernovae (SNe) have discovered several thousand events, many of them in quite nearby galaxies (distances < 30 Mpc).

The extended structure of the dwarf irregular galaxy Sagittarius [PDF]
We present a detailed study of the stellar and HI structure of the dwarf irregular galaxy Sagittarius. We use new deep and wide field photometry to trace the surface brightness profile of the galaxy out to ~5.0' (corresponding to ~1600 pc) and down to ...

Hazy with a Chance of Star Spots: Constraining the Atmosphere of Young Planet K2-33b
Although all-sky surveys have led to the discovery of dozens of young planets, little is known about their atmospheres. Here, we present multiwavelength transit data for the super-Neptune sized exoplanet, K2-33b—the youngest (∼10 Myr) transiting ...

Photometry and spectroscopy of faint candidate spectrophotometric standard DA white dwarfs [PDF]
We present precise photometry and spectroscopy for 23 candidate spectrophotometric standard white dwarfs. The selected stars are distributed in the Northern hemisphere and around the celestial equators and are all fainter than r ~ 16.5 mag.

Dwarf irregular galaxy Leo A extends even farther, according to HST WFC3 photometry [PDF]
Context. Leo A is an isolated gas-rich dwarf irregular galaxy of low stellar mass and metallicity residing at the outskirts of the Local Group. Ages of the stellar populations in Leo A range from ~10 Myr to ~10 Gyr. A large stellar halo (up to the deprojected distance of ~1.7 kpc) was discovered based on Subaru wide-field photometry of red giant branch

A Near-infrared Survey of Candidate Haumea Family Members
The Haumea family is the only known dynamical family in the trans-Neptunian region. To date, 10 family members have been unambiguously identified using near-infrared (NIR) spectral or photometric data in combination with their strong dynamical proximity ...
