It’s been about six months since we’ve last checked in with the #FrontierFields team back at the January AAS and we thought it was time to get together to see how things were progressing.
Frontier Fields is one of the most ambitious #Hubble observing programs ever launched. It will stare at six different clusters in varying places in the sky for over 560 orbits in an attempt to answer, among other things: Are what we see in the Hubble Ultra Deep Field images typical? Are the 10,000 galaxies seen in that small patch of sky unique or are they everywhere?
The Frontier Fields team is eight months into it’s three year program and we will be holding regular hangouts throughout to touch base with the effort and learn what, if any, new discoveries are coming out of the Frontier Fields images.
Please join +Tony Darnell,+Carol Christian and +Scott Lewis as they discuss the latest developments and discoveries from the Frontier Fields science team.
