HUBBLE SPACE TELESCOPE DAILY REPORT #1007 PERIOD COVERED: 0800 EST Daily Status Report as of 307/1200Z. 1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED: 1.1 Complete Two Sets of PC 4644 (The Nuclei of Nearby SO and Spiral Galaxies - I A PC Snapshot Imaging) The Planetary Camera was used to make two snapshot observations of the spiral galaxies NGC-6689 and NGC-55. The observations used filter F555W and chip PC6. The exposure lasted 300 seconds. The observations were received and displayed, and it was reported to look normal. 1.2 Complete WFC 4713 (WF/PC Cycle 2 Calibration: WFC Internal Delta Flats) The Wide Field Camera was used to make one internal flat calibrations images. The image was reported to be normal. 1.3 Complete FOC /96 4800 (The Stellar Content of Wolf - Rayet Galaxies (FOC Images)) The Faint Object Camera was used to make one spectral observations of the Wolf-Rayet galaxy MARK36. This galaxy is a star bursting galaxy which exhibits broad He II emissions at 4686 A0 from stellar sources. The observation was received and displayed. An eight second long recentering event was reported during the observation. No other anomalies were reported. 1.4 Complete Two Sets of PC 4714 (WF/PC Cycle 2 Calibration: PC Internal Delta Flats) The Faint Object Camera was used to make three internal flat calibration images which will be used for the restoration of Earth flat images. These images were altered due to changes in quantum efficiency which occurred after decontamination operations. The observations was received and displayed in the OSS. It was reported to look okay. 1.5 Complete HSP/UV2 1093 (Observations of ZZ Ceti Stars) The High Speed Photometer was used to make ultraviolet observations of G117-B15A which is a pulsating white dwarf with a period of 215 seconds. and has a visual magnitude of 15.2 . Two ultraviolet observations were made to obtain the star's color (i.e., temperature) as a function of time. Both observations were reported to look satisfactory. 1.6 Complete Two Sets of WFC 4381 (HST Medium - Deep Survey - Cycle 3) The Wide Field Camera was used to make two set of medium-deep high latitude sky survey observations taken in parallel with the prime science observations. The observations were executed as scheduled, and no problems were reported. 1.7 Complete PC 4308 (Snapshot Survey for Companions to Planetary Nebula Nuclei - Cycle 3 High) The Planetary Camera was used to make an observation of the central region of planetary nebula NGC-7293. It is possible that the central star in a double star. The observations was received and displayed in the OSS, the data was reported to be normal. 1.8 Complete FOS/RD 3448 (Ultraviolet Evolution of Elliptical Galaxies at Moderate Redshift) The Faint Object Spectrograph (Red Side) was used to to make ultraviolet observations of the high red shifted elliptical galaxy A-3639-B to look for changes in the "UV rising branch". This feature is expected to change rapidly with the redshift of the galaxy, and should provide information on the hot stars which are believed to produce it. The observations were monitored in the OSS, and the data quality was assessed. No anomalies were reported. 1.9 Complete WFC/PC 5026 (WF/PC Cycle Calibration: Rapid Internal Monitor) The Wide Field Camera and the Planetary Camera were used to make internal flat calibration images. These images will be used to look for measles and daisies (i.e., different forms of contamination), and to monitor scattered light. The observations were executed as scheduled, and no problems were reported. 1.10 Complete PC 4929 (WF/PC Cycle 2: Improved Dark Calibration) The Planetary Camera was used to make two dark calibration images. The two exposures lasted 1200 seconds each, and the camera was pre-flashed before the observations. Both observations were reported to be normal exposures. 1.11 Complete FOS/BL 4952 (QSO Absorption System Snapshot Survey - Part 2 of 3: Cycle 3 High) The Faint Object Spectrograph was used to make 2 observation of quasar 1008+1319 to look for absorption lines at low redshift, and also emission lines in the QSO's continuum. Both observations were received and displayed. The observations were executed as scheduled, and no problems were reported. 1.12 Complete HSP/POL 4888 (Remnant Stars in Supernova Remnants - Augmentation - Cycle 3 High) The High Speed Photometer was used to make ultraviolet polarimetric observations of super nova remnant SS433 which has emission lines that vary by relativistic amounts in a 162 day cycle. All of the observations were received and displayed. No anomalies were reported. 1.13 Complete PC 5027 (WF/PC Cycle 3 Calibration: Rapid Internal Monitor - Part 2) The Planetary Camera was used to make internal flat observations to check for quantum efficiency hysteresis. Two images were taken, no problems were reported. 1.14 Complete GHRS/2 2537 (Physical Conditions of Interstellar Gas Within 50 Parsecs) The High Resolution Spectrograph was used to obtain high signal to noise ratio data from the standard star HD216956 to study the warm and cold regions of the interstellar medium to analyze lines in Al, Fe, Mn, Mg, and Carbon. The observations was executed as scheduled, and no problems were reported. 2.0 FLIGHT OPERATIONS SUMMARY: 2.1 Guide Star Acquisitions: Scheduled Acquisitions : 8 Successful : 8 Scheduled Reacquisitions : 8 Successful : 8 2.2 FHST Updates: Scheduled : 18 Successful : 18 2.3 Significant HSTARs: None 2.4 Operations Note: None 3.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED FOR NEXT REPORTING PERIOD: 3.1 Complete WFC 4658 (Determination of the Extragalactic ) 3.2 Complete PC 4308 (Snapshot Survey for Companions to Planetary Nebula Nuclei - Cycle 3 High) 3.3 Complete HSP/UV2 1093 (Observations of ZZ Ceti Stars) 3.4 Complete WFC 4381 (HST Medium - Deep Survey - Cycle 3) 3.5 Complete FOS/BL/RD 5200 (FOS Cycle 3 Scattered Light Calibration) 4.0 ANOMALY STATUS: 4.1 Significant New Anomalies: None 4.2 Significant Unresolved Anomalies: None 5.0 SIGNIFICANT FORTHCOMING EVENTS: The SMGT 14B Prime Simulation will start tomorrow, Thursday ,Nov. 4 at 8 AM and last until 2 PM. /DMH -END-
