Here we will post links to some relevant studies pertaining to the science that HST is founded on. Note that the newest studies (2002 and 2003) can only be accessed in institutions that subscribe to the related journals, or by pay-per-view - so for those I will only post links to the abstracts instead of the full articles. Also, at the bottom of each study/article, you will often find links to related studies that will further enhance your understanding of the related topic.
