PLANETARY SCI. ! end of coverpage abstract: line_1: The goal of this WF/PC project is to extend our knowledge of young line_2: stellar systems by looking more closely at the R136 cluster in the line_3: 30 Doradus Nebula of the Large Magellanic Cloud. The resolution that line_4: the HST provides will allow us to probe the central regions of the line_5: cluster and thus more completely sample its color-magnitude diagram and line_6: luminosity function. We will use the augmentation time to improve line_7: photometry of the brightest stars and extend the color and magnitude line_8: limits 2-3 mag fainter, with the goal of reaching stars still line_9: approaching the main sequence. Information on the age and evolution line_10: of this cluster may help us better understand the IMF in the LMC line_11: and in such stellar systems. ! ! end of abstract general_form_proposers: lname: WESTPHAL fname: JAMES mi: A. inst: CALTECH country: USA ! ! end of general_form_proposers block general_form_text: question: 3 section: 1 line_1: A series of observations will be taken in four wide bandpass line_2: filters to provide a large dynamic range in colors similar to line_3: the broadband UBVR system. Thus, we will produce accurate line_4: photometry of the brightest giants and will be able to probe line_5: the fainter end of the color-magnitude diagram of the cluster. line_6: Additional narrow-band images will reveal HII line emitters in line_7: the cluster. ! question: 4 section: 1 line_1: The highest possible visible resolution of HST is crucial to line_2: separating the core stars of R136a over more than the 2-3 line_3: mags dynamic range available to speckle, while obtaining line_4: accurate photometry and spectral identification as well. line_5: Moreover, the fainter population within and around R136 requires line_6: the sharp core PSF to detect, and HST exceeds by a factor of line_7: three the resolution available on the ground. ! question: 7 section: 1 line_1: Standard photometric reduction will be done using a version line_2: of DAOPHOT residing in VISTA. ! !end of general form text general_form_address: lname: HUNTER fname: DEIDRE mi: A. category: CON inst: LOWELL OBSERVATORY addr_1: 1400 W.
