The HST UV Legacy Science Definition Working Group delivered a report that outlines the science goals of ULLYSES, gives a high-level description of the observing strategy, and includes a possible list of targets. The report can be found at https://outerspace.stsci.edu/download/attachments/27035567/HSTUV_REPORT.pdf?version=1&modificationDate=1555086416586&api=v2 and is also attached. here.

Target selection

The implementation team at STScI invites the community to provide recommendations for specific targets and/or types of targets to be observed as part of the ULLYSES program. We provide links to spreadsheets that summarise the HST data available currently in the MAST archives. The targets should be aligned with the science goals outlined in the report and cover the parameter space defined therein:

...

  • A justification of the relevance of the targets given the science goals of ULLYSES and the parameter space listed above, including all references from the literature for catalog and archival data (3 pages max, including figures and references). A cover page listing the authors of the document should be included.
  • A table of target parameters in the form of an Excel spreadsheet following the content and format using the following templates:  Massive star template             Low mass star template

In addition, the implementation team at STScI is inviting invites the community to provide a recommendation about whether known massive binary systems should or should not be included in the ULLYSES massive star sample (1 page max).  If the scientific justification favors UV observations of known binaries, please also specify (a) what sort of phase resolution is required; (b) how many systems should be observed; and (c) what range of orbital and system parameters should be probed.
