AbstractThe superior resolution and large format of the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) make it a powerful new tool in the study of extra-galactic globular cluster (GC) systems. We summarize some early results on GC populations from the ACS GTO program, concentrating on the extreme cases of the isolated dwarf NGC 2915 and the core of the massive lensing cluster Abell 1689.

ABSTRACT We report on the white dwarf (WD) cooling sequence of the old globular cluster NGC 6752, which is chemically complex and hosts a blue horizontal branch. This is one of the last globular cluster WD cooling sequences accessible to imaging by the Hubble Space Telescope. Our photometry and completeness tests show that we have reached the peak of the luminosity function of the WD cooling sequence, at a magnitude mF606W  = 29.4 ± 0.1, which is consistent with a formal age of ∼14 Gyr. This age is also consistent with the age from fits to the main-sequence turn-off (13–14 Gyr), reinforcing our conclusion that we observe the expected accumulation of WDs along the cooling sequence.

This review summarizes some aspects of the central kiloparsec scale structure of galaxies, and in particular spiral galaxies, elliptical galaxies and merger remnants. The focus is on results from optical and near-IR imaging and spectroscopy, with emphasis on recent work with the Hubble Space Telescope.
