- W1990659097 abstract "M101 is an ideal target in which to test predictions of massive star birth and evolution. The large abundance gradient across M101 (a factor of 20) suggests that many more WR stars must be found in the inner parts of this galaxy than in the outer regions. Many HII regions and massive star-forming complexes have been identified in M101; they should be rich in WR stars, and surrounded by RSG stars. Finally, the Wolf-Rayet stars in M101 may be abundant enough for one to explode as a Type Ib or Ic supernova and/or GRB within a generation. The clear identification of the progenitor of a Type Ib or Ic supernova as a WR star would be a major confirmation of current stellar evolution theory. Motivated by these considerations, we have used the Hubble Space Telescope to carry out a deep, HeII optical narrowband imaging survey of the massive star populations in the ScI spiral galaxy M101. Combined with archival broadband images, we were able to image almost the entire galaxy with the unprecedented depth and resolution that only HST affords. We describe the extent of the survey and our images, as well as our data reduction procedures. A detailed study of a field east of the center of M101, containing the giant star-forming region NGC 5462, demonstrates how we find candidates, their properties and spatial distribution, and how we rule out most contaminants. The spatial distributions of the WR and RSG stars near a giant star-forming complex are strikingly different. WR stars dominate the complex core, while RSG dominate the complex halo. Future papers in this series will describe and catalog more than a thousand WR and RSG candidates that are detectable in our images, as well as spectra of many of those candidates." @default.
