Measuring the Hubble Constant with the Hubble Space Telescope [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2009 Ten years ago our team completed the Hubble Space Telescope Key Project on the extragalactic distance scale. Cepheids were detected in some 25 galaxies and used to calibrate four secondary distance indicators that reach out into the expansion field beyond the noise of galaxy peculiar velocities.

Hubble Space Telescope Science Metrics [PDF]
Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 2004 Since its launch in April 1990, the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) has produced an increasing flow of scientific results. The large number of refereed publications based on HST data allows a detailed evaluation of the effectiveness of this observatory and of its scientific programs.

FGS Astrometry with the Hubble Space Telescope [PDF]
, 2000 This article describes astrometric science that can be done with the Hubble Space Telescope Fine Guidance Sensors and presents some recent science results. We outline how these data are modeled, acquired, and calibrated. We next show how the astrometer, FGS 3, works as an interferometer.

Hubble Space Telescope Imaging of the field of GRB970508 [PDF]
Fourth Huntsville gamma-ray burst symposium, 1998 We report on Hubble Space Telescope observations of the optical transient discovered in the error box of GRB970508. The object was imaged on 1997 June 2 with the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph and Near-Infrared Camera and Multi-Object Spectrometer.

What the Upper Atmospheres of Giant Planets Reveal
Remote Sensing, 2022 The upper atmospheres of the Giant Planets, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune are transition regions between meteorological layers and outer space. As a result of their exceptionally rarefied nature, they are highly sensitive and therefore revealing ...

The Hubble Space Telescope [PDF]
International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1990 AbstractThe Hubble Space Telescope was launched from the Kennedy Space Center on April 24, 1990. Its initial check-out indicates that all sub-systems of the satellite are working very well, with two key exceptions: The line-of-sight pointing is subject to occasional jitter apparently induced by thermal stresses in the solar arrays; this is expected to ...
