Imagery Results

Several candidates were found, which can be characterized into three categories. There are seven He II sources which are associated with a stellar source (hereafter, labeled S), five with a cluster (labeled C), and three which are found to have none of the above but are real He II sources (labeled U). Figure 2 shows the locations of the S, C, and U sources (circles) with respect to the rest of the galaxy. The underlying gray-scaled image is F555W (net exposure time = 930 s) from GO-6423.

Figures 3 and 4 show ``postage stamp" enlargements of each individual S source, Figure 5 shows each C source, and the U sources are found in Figure 6. The gray-scaled image is the F555W image and the contours are He II for that particular source. Each F555W image has been smoothed using the IRAF command magnify. This has made the images more presentable. However, the small continuum sources are too blurred in some cases to see. The contours are set at 60%, 40%, 20%, and 10% of the peak He II flux in all C sources excluding C3 and are set at 100%, 80%, 60%, and 40% in C3 and all S and U sources. All figures are 3$\farcs$1 by 3$\farcs$1, and the orientation of each image is the same as Figure 1.
