摘要
We present the imaging observations made with the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) of the Hubble Deep Field South. The field was imaged in four bandpasses: a clear CCD bandpass for 156 ks, a long-pass filter for 22-25 ks pixel(-1) typical exposure, a near-UV bandpass for 23 ks, and a far-UV bandpass for 52 ks. The clear, visible image is the deepest observation ever made in the UV-optical wavelength region, reaching a 10 sigma AB magnitude of 29.4 for an object of area 0.2 arcsec(2). The field contains QSO J2233-606, the target of the STIS spectroscopy, and extends 50 " x 50 " for the visible images, and 25 " x 25 " for the ultraviolet images. We present the images, catalog of objects, and galaxy counts obtained in the field.
