Hubble Heritage Project ("HERITAGE")

The Hubble Heritage Project and MAST maintain this repository of high-level science products associated with some of the Heritage press releases. These are the scientific data (in FITS format) used to create the Heritage color composite press release images. The data has been expertly prepared, significantly beyond the standard pipeline processing. This usually involves careful image registration, combination, and cleaning via drizzling, making it a ready for further scientific analysis and educational use. These data are typically made available at the time of the associated press release, and each include a README file with data reduction details. Their inclusion as MAST High-Level Science products (HLSP) also means these data can be found via MAST archive queries.
