Goals • Use deep, simultaneous, high precision photometry to assemble the richest, most accurate, unbiased HR diagram of PMS stars ever made • IMF and its variation with environment • Accretion and disk dissipation vs. environment • Stellar multiplicity vs. disk fraction • Discover substantial population of PMS binaries, low mass stars and brown dwarfs down to ~10MJ • Ha survey of disks, jets, proplyds 205th AAS Meeting, San Diego
Strategy 104 HST orbits, parallel ACS+WFPC2+NIC3 • ACS: B (420s), V (385s), I (385s), z (385s), Ha (340s) • WFPC-2: U (2400s), B (80s), I (10s), Ha(400s) • NIC-3: J (5256s), H (4192s) 2 Orientations • 100° (36 orbits, Fall 2004) • 280° (68 orbits, Spring 2005) Precise tiling pattern allows for full coverage with ACS and WFPC2 205th AAS Meeting, San Diego
Survey area Current on 2-Mass • ACS & WFP2: ~0.15sq. deg; NIC3~113-127 sq.arcmin • WFPC2: 205.4 Mpix • ACS: 904 Mpix • NIC-3: 7.4-8.3 Mpix final on ESO-WFI 205th AAS Meeting, San Diego
