THE HUBBLE DEEP FIELDS

Abstract. The Hubble space telescope observations of the northern
Hubble deep field, and
more recently its counterpart in the south, provide detections and
photometry for stars and field galaxies to the faintest levels currently
achievable, reaching magnitudes V ~ 30. Since 1995, the northern
Hubble deep field has been
the focus of deep surveys at nearly all wavelengths. These observations have
revealed many properties of high redshift galaxies, and have contributed
to important data on the stellar mass function in the Galactic halo.

evolution -- galaxies: formation -- galaxies: photometry -- surveys.
