Welcome to the Hubble Ultra Deep Field 2012
Welcome to the official website for the Hubble Ultra Deep Field 2012 (UDF12). The UDF12 is a survey with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) to take the deepest ever image of the sky. The UDF12 program uses the Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3), originally installed on HST in 2009, to take images of the sky in infrared light. The WFC3 instrument enables UDF12 to peer deeper and farther than ever before. Data acquisition for UDF12 completed in September 2012 and is currently being reduced and analyzed.
The Hubble Ultra Deep Field 2012 program is a collaboration between the California Institute of Technology, the University of Arizona, the University of Edinburgh, the Space Telescope Science Institute, the University of California Los Angeles, the University of Tokyo, and the Institut Astrophysique de Paris. Support for this Program was provided by NASA through a grant from the Space Telescope Science Institute, which is operated by the Association of Universities for Research In Astronomy, Incorporated, under NASA contract NAS5-26555.
