Hallo
northern sky
( planetarium software program )
The
program Hallo northern sky is a simple windows application which plots an
electronic version of the night sky. It displays all stars to magnitude 8.0 (or
9.5) and 8415 deep sky objects. It also shows the planets, Moon, Sun, the Jovian
moons, phases of the Moon and inner planets, solar and lunar eclipses, rings and
moons of Saturn and some minor planets and comets.The intention of the program
is to familiarise you with the night sky and prepare yourself with a map for a
night with your telescope. To help you with this, all deepsky objects are
displayed in the correct size and orientation if available.

Hands

( HOU )
Hands-On
Universe is an educational program that enables students to investigate the
Universe while applying tools and concepts from science, math, and technology.
Hands-On Universe (HOU) has developed and piloted an educational program that
enables high school students to request their own observations from professional
observatories. HOU students download CCD images to their classroom computers and
use HOU's powerful image processing software to visualize and analyze their
data. HOU also provides comprehensive curriculum that integrates many of the
topics and skills outlined in the national goals for science and math education
into open- ended astronomical investigations. Over the next several years HOU
will develop activities and tools for middle school students and informal
education centers as well as implementing HOU in regional high school networks
across the world, including Department of Defense Dependent Schools.

Hierarchical
Equal Area isoLatitude Pixelisation of the sphere
( HEALPix )
Future
satellite missions to measure the CMB anisotropy - NASA's Microwave Anisotropy
Probe, MAP, and ESA's Planck - will produce multifrequency data sets sufficient
for the construction of full-sky maps of the microwave sky at an angular
resolution of a few arcminutes. The principal concern in construction of HEALPix
was to create a mathematical structure which supports the discretisation of
functions on a sphere at sufficiently high resolution to facilitate fast and
accurate statistical and astrophysical analysis of such massive full-sky data
sets.
The HEALPix package is available for distribution.

The
Hierarchical Triangular Mesh (HTM) is the indexing concept used in the Sloan

the unit sphere into spherical triangles. It is a hierarchical scheme and the
subdivisions have not exactly, but roughly equal areas.

The questions that I would like to be involved in answering are: (1) how old are
galactic halos and how did galaxies formation? (2) why is the metallicity
distribution in the M31 halo so radically different from that in the Galactic
halo? (3) how did globular clusters form and how are they related to the
galactic halos that they sit in?

held at La Petite Pierre, Northern Vosges, 25-27 June 1997.

Deep Field
( HDF )
The
Hubble Deep Field (HDF) is a Director's Discretionary program on HST in Cycle 5
to image a typical field at high galactic latitude in four wavelength passbands
as deeply as reasonably possible. In order to optimize observing in the time
available, a field in the northern continuous viewing zone (CVZ) was selected
and images were taken for 10 consecutive days, or approximately 150 orbits.
Shorter 1-orbit images were also obtained of the fields immediately adjacent to
the primary HDF in order to facilitate spectroscopic follow-up by ground-based
telescopes. The observations were carried out from 18-30 December 1995, and the
data are available to the community for study.
Hubble

at this site the first Thursday of every month. As well as creating color images

Space Telescope Astrometry Science Team
See how astrometry, one of the oldest branches of astronomy, uses the Hubble
Space Telescope, one of the newest tools of astronomy. Interrogate our home page
to find out what we do, who we are, and what we've done. Look over our shoulder
as we search for planets around a nearby star. We use the Fine Guidance Sensors
aboard the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) to measure star positions, study binary
stars and study stellar motions. Primarily, stellar positions yield parallaxes
which provide information on distance. The distances to nearby stars calibrate
the entire astronomical distance scale. Monitoring star position may reveal
previously unseen companions. We search for planets near Proxima Centauri and
Barnard's Star. We also work to tie the HIPPARCOS reference frame to an
extragalactic (non-rotating) reference frame. We study binary stars unresolvable
using ground-based techniques. We inspect stars to determine whether or not they
are binary. We use the Planetary Camera to obtain images of stars in globular
clusters. The precision with which we can measure positions is so high, that
after 3-5 years a second image will show motions of stars in clusters 6 kpc
distant.
