6. Nearby early galaxies sample survey

With Holland Ford and Frank v.d. Bosch, Jaffe continued his program of HST imaging of a large, unbiased sample of nearby early galaxies. The new snapshot survey contains 65 not previously imaged galaxies. These show a variety of expected and unexpected nuclear structures, and several have been approved by the HST Time Allocation Committee for spectral observations to investigate the dynamics.
