Botany and Medicine

In both theoretical and practical medicine, the study of plants played a significant role in the early modern period. As branches of medical knowledge, herbs, plants, and vegetal bodies were the subject of (1) the fabrication of therapeutics, called simples; (2) the discipline of signatures, the knowledge of the hidden key connecting bodies; and (3) the physiological study of living functions, such as growth, nutrition, and generation. Drawing on ancient scholarly tradition, the work of early modern physicians, chymists, women, and natural philosophers reveals the medical importance of botany, which slowly attained an autonomous status in the seventeenth century

VizieR Online Data Catalog: RELICS: Reionization Lensing Cluster Survey (Coe+, 2019)

Of the 41 Reionization Lensing Cluster Survey (RELICS) clusters, 28 had been observed previously by HST with ACS and/or WFC3/UVIS. Our 188-orbit HST Treasury Program (Cycle 23; GO 14096; PI Coe; Deputy PI Bradley) obtained additional observations with ACS and WFC3/IR. For each field, we observed two orbits of WFC3/IR split among four filters: F105W, F125W, F140W, and F160W. And for each cluster, we observed three orbits of ACS split among F435W, F606W, and F814W, minus any archival imaging. See Section 4. (3 data files)
