Description
The newly installed Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) on the Hubble Space Telescope has been used to obtain multiband images of the nearby spiral galaxy M83. These new observations are the deepest and highest resolution images ever taken of a grand-design spiral, particularly in the near-ultraviolet, and allow us to better differentiate compact star clusters from individual stars and to measure the luminosities of even faint clusters in the U band. We find that the luminosity function (LF) for...[Show more]
