4 Hubble Space Telescope Goddard Space Flight Center 11/28/014 (69 arcmin 2 ) HUFI (90 arcmin 2 ) (5.7 arcmin 2 ) (11.3 arcmin 2 )

5 Hubble Space Telescope Goddard Space Flight Center 11/28/015 Field of View 4K x 4K CCD’s (3)

6 Hubble Space Telescope Goddard Space Flight Center 11/28/016 Optical Schematic M1 Mirror M3 Mirror M2 Mirror Radial “Pickle” Pick Off Mirror (POM) HST OTA CCD FPA Filters, CCD Shutter Location Pupil

7 Hubble Space Telescope Goddard Space Flight Center 11/28/017 Geometric ray trace compared to two-pixel and four-pixel width scale-bars shows a well-corrected design.

8 Hubble Space Telescope Goddard Space Flight Center 11/28/018 Optical Performance Diffraction PSF encircled energy @ =632.8 nm for center field and 4 other field positions show that PSF is diffraction-limited and is uniform over full FOV

14 Hubble Space Telescope Goddard Space Flight Center 11/28/0114 HUFI Design Features All-Reflective Design –Four surfaces – one flat, three powered Well-Corrected Aberrations –Wavefront error 0.0451 to 0.0523 waves rms at 632.8nm Flat Focal Surface –Requires three 4Kx4K CCD’s similar to ACS and WFC3 detectors Cooling Via HUFI External Radiator Plus Coupling To NCS Radiator Replaces FGS #3 Without Compromising Current Pointing Performance Does Not Interfere With Other Instruments –Amenable to parallel observing –Follow-up observations with WFC3, COS, ACS, STIS

15 Hubble Space Telescope Goddard Space Flight Center 11/28/0115 HUFI Scientific Performance FOV – 90 arcmin 2 (8xACS, 16xWFPC2) Pixel Scale – 0.10 arcsec (same as WFPC2) Sensitivity – Comparable to ACS in I-band, 5x WFPC2 in I-band Discovery Efficiency – 8xACS, 80xWFPC2 SNe Ia Discovery Rate - ~1 per day with follow-up

16 Hubble Space Telescope Goddard Space Flight Center 11/28/0116 POTENTIAL OBSERVING STRATEGY 3-6 Month campaigns dedicated to high galactic latitude fields Deep exposures with WFC3, COS, ACS broken into multiple visits – HUFI parallel exposures for “free” SN detected in HUFI fields followed with other HST instruments –STIS spectra for redshifts and classifications up to z=1.2 –WFC3 near-IR images and grism spectroscopy up to 1.7 microns –ACS higher resolution images for host galaxy morphology

20 Hubble Space Telescope Goddard Space Flight Center 11/28/0120 RETIREMENT OPTIONS FOR HST One Shuttle flight allocated to HST after Servicing Mission 4 in 2004 Current baseline plan is to return HST to the ground in 2010 –Exhibit in National Air & Space Museum –Requires partial disassembly and disposal of multiple pieces in orbit (e.g. solar arrays, external radiators, possibly instruments) –5 EVA mission –Requires HST to be stable and commandable –Less than 50/50 chance that HST will function to 2010 Alternative option –“Light” servicing mission in 2007 instead of 2010 –Maximizes probability of zero downtime between HST and NGST –Attach propulsion module to HST for end-of-mission controlled re- entry –Provides possible opportunity for new instrument, e.g. HUFI

22 Hubble Space Telescope Goddard Space Flight Center 11/28/0122 SUMMARY We’ve identified an instrument design which provides a major increase in FOV compared to prior HST cameras A systematic campaign should yield ~1 SNe per day with follow up provided by full suite of HST instruments Flight opportunity requires change in current baseline retirement plan for HST and willingness of Code S to support a new HST instrument
