Summary

| Description |
NGC 2419 is an unusual globular cluster because it is so far away. It's out there orbiting the Milky Way beyond the Magellanic Clouds. It's also a great fit on Hubble's detectors because of its distance and large size, which is double great because there is a robust set of data in the archive, which made filling the chip gap rather trivial. Its nickname, Intergalactic Wanderer, is somewhat of a misnomer because it is orbiting rather than wandering (read the wiki article) but I think it's a great name and gives the cluster some character. Make sure you do view larger version of the image because for some reason the interpolation Flickr uses for the photostream display is awful for denser star fields such as this one. Data primarily came from this proposal: UVIS Photometric Zero Points Red: hst_11903_41_wfc3_uvis_f814w_sci + hst_11903_41_wfc3_uvis_f775w_sci + hst_11903_41_wfc3_uvis_f625w_sci Green: hst_11903_41_wfc3_uvis_f555w_sci Blue: hst_11903_41_wfc3_uvis_f438w_sci Chip gap filled with: Red: ACS/WFC f814w (j8io01071_drz) + hst_11035_04_wfpc2_f814w_wf_sci Green: ACS/WFC f555w (j8io01021_drz) + hst_11035_04_wfpc2_f555w_wf_sci Blue: ACS/WFC f475w (j8io01031_drz) + hst_11035_04_wfpc2_f439w_wf_sci North is NOT up. It is 44° counter-clockwise from up. |
