 Center for Astrophysics with HST   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
We have proposed the foundation of a small `center without walls' to boost the Danish astronomical community's use of the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) for astrophysical research.
The center will have as the main objectives to carry out independent research on HST data, quite possibly in collaboration with members of the project group.
Members of the project group have worked on HST data in several areas, however, there is a strong focus on extragalactic work and cosmological issues in which elliptical galaxies play a central role: Surface-brightness fluctuations, gravitational lensing, the fundamental plane, and far-infrared emissions.
