Abstract
Plans for the Southern Hubble Deep Field Campaign are described.
The campaign consists of 150 orbits of HST observations of a
region of high-galactic latitude. The observations with WFPC2
will be similar to those of the HDF-North campaign in 1995, and
will provide additional data for studies ranging from stellar
statistics in the Galactic halo, to searches for galaxies at z > 5.
Parallel observations will be conducted with STIS and NICMOS.
The STIS field contains a QSO at z=2.24, and the STIS observations
will be divided roughly half and half between deep imaging and
deep UV spectroscopy. NICMOS will carry out imaging in the J,H, and
K bands. The observations will take place in October 1998, and the
data will be released in November.
