| About The Data | |
| Data Description | Note: The wide-field image of M81 was released on May 28, 2007. ACS/WFC data from proposal (PI: A. Zezas (Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics)) was combined into a BVI color-composite image. Hubble data for this release of SN 1993J were obtained from proposal : A. Filippenko (University of California, Berkeley), P. Chandra (Pune University, India), R. Chevalier (University of Virginia), V. Dwarkadas (University of Chicago), C. Fransson (Stockholm University), W. Li (University of California, Berkeley) T. Matheson (NOAO), J. Silverman (University of Texas, Austin), N. Smith (Steward Observatory), and S. Van Dyk (Caltech). The science team comprises: O. Fox (University of California, Berkeley), A. Bostroem (STScI), S. Van Dyk (Caltech), A. Filippenko (University of California, Berkeley), C. Fransson (Stockholm University), T. Matheson (NOAO), S. Cenko (University of California, Berkeley, and NASA/GSFC), P. Chandra (Pune University, India), V. Dwarkadas (University of Chicago), W. Li and A. Parker (University of California, Berkeley), and N. Smith (Steward Observatory). |

| Exposure Dates | December 24, 2011 |
| Filters | Galaxy M81 image: F435W (B), F606W (V), and F814W (I) Inset image: F438W (B), F555W (V), and F625W (r) |
| About The Image | |
| Color Info | The galaxy M81 image is a composite of many separate exposures made by the ACS instrument on the Hubble Space Telescope. Three filters were used to sample light from broad wavelengths. The color results from assigning different hues (colors) to each monochromatic image. In this case, the assigned colors are: Blue: F435W (B) Green: F606W (V) Red: F814W (I) The inset image of SN 1993J is a composite of separate exposures acquired by the ACS/WFC instrument. Several filters were used to sample various wavelengths. The color results from assigning different hues (colors) to each monochromatic (grayscale) image as follows: Blue: F438W (B) Green: F555W (V) Red: F625W (r) |
