Description
As part of the Hubble Space Telescope UV Legacy Survey of Galactic
globular clusters, 110 parallel fields were observed with the Wide Field
Channel of the Advanced Camera for Surveys, in the outskirts of 48
globular clusters, plus the open cluster NGC 6791. Totalling about 0.3
deg2 of observed sky, this is the largest homogeneous Hubble
Space Telescope photometric survey of Galalctic globular clusters
outskirts to date. In particular, two distinct pointings have been
obtained for each target on average, all centred at about 6.5 arcmin
from the cluster centre, thus covering a mean area of about 23
arcmin2 for each globular cluster. For each field, at least
one exposure in both F475W and F814W filters was collected. In this
work, we publicly release the astrometric and photometric catalogues and
the astrometrized atlases for each of these fields.

The overall aim of the project is to study the morphology, stellar populations, kinematics and dynamics (including formation and evolution) of the Milky Way and its satellite galaxies and other Local Group galaxies. The project can be divided into two main lines: I. Structure of the Milky Way and nearby galaxies. The detailed study of the
