HUBBLE SPACE TELESCOPE DAILY REPORT #1009 PERIOD COVERED: 0800 EST Daily Status Report as of 309/1200Z. 1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED: 1.1 Complete HSP/POL 1098 (Remnant Stars in supernova Remnants) The High Speed Photometer was used to attempt to locate the remnant pulsar associated with supernova SN1987A. The observations was monitored, received, and displayed in real-time. Except for one recentering event, the observations was reported to be normal. 1.2 Completed FOS/RD 4784 (Transition Comets: UV Search for OH) The Faint Object Spectrograph was used to make spectral observations looking for OH emission line at 3085 A0 on the asteroid ELSA. The asteroid has some properties of looking like a comet. This proposal is an amateur proposal submitted by Hareld Schenk of the Sheboygan Astronomical Society. The observations were executed as scheduled, and no problems were reported. 1.3 Completed FOS/RD 4581 (Quasar Absorption Line Survey - Cycle 3 High) The Faint Object Spectrograph (Red Side) was used to make two observations of quasar UM18 to learn more about the origin and evolution of gas clouds along the line of sight of this target. Both observations were received and displayed. No problems were noted. 1.4 Completed WFC 5013 (WF/PC Cycle 3 Calibration: WFC Flat Narrow. 2) The Wide Field Camera was used to make Earth flat calibration images to be used for flat fielding of WFC observations. The observations used the narrow band filters, both with and without neutral density filters. The OSS Monitored the observations and assessed the data quality. No anomalies were reported. 1.5 Completed Five Sets of WFC/PC 4381 (HST Medium - Deep Survey - Cycle 3) The Wide Field Camera was used to make one set of medium-deep high latitude sky survey observations taken in parallel with the prime science observations. The observation was executed as scheduled, and no problems were reported. 1.6 Completed WF/PC 5014 (WF/PC Cycle 3 Calibration: PC Flats Narrow. 2) The Planetary Camera was used to make standard Earth calibrations images for flat fielding of PC observations. Medium and narrow filters were used, with and without neutral density filters. The observations were executed as scheduled, and no problems were reported. 1.7 Completed FGS 4893 (Orbital Motions of Close Binary Stars - Cycle 3 High) Fine Guidance Sensor #3 was used to make astrometric observations of the binary star system GLIESE-568 to obtain its orbital elements. These observations are important since most of the estimates of stellar mass are made by observing elements of these systems. The astrometry was monitored and no problems were seen in the telemetry. 1.8 Completed FOC/96 3728 (Imaging of Hot Stellar Content of Early Type Galaxies) The Faint Object Camera (f/96) was used to make observations of galaxy NGC-2681. These observations are taken in conjunction with longer wavelength ground based observations to measure the spectral energy distribution as a function of radial distance. Also, observations were made looking for clumsiness in ultraviolet radiation that might be present around any possible hot young stars. A total of two observations were received and displayed. No anomalies were noted. 1.9 Completed WFC 4849 (GTO High Latitude Parallel Program - Cycle 3 High) The Wide Field Camera was used to make high latitude sky survey observations taken in parallel with the prime science observations. The observations were executed as planned, and no problems were reported. 1.10 Completed FOS/BL 4212 (Internal Wavelength Calibration) The Faint Object Spectrograph was used to make wavelength calibration observations for every disperser-detector combination, to monitor the stability of the FOS wave-lenght scale. A total 11 observations were made. They all were received and displayed. No anomalies were noted. 1.11 Completed FGS 4669 (Interferometric Search for Multiplicity of Near Small Asteroids) FGS #3 was used to make observations of the near-Earth asteroid Eros to scan for possible companions. The observations was made as the asteroid passed near Earth. The observations were executed as scheduled, and no problems were reported. 1.12 Completed FOS/BL 3791 (Quasar Absorption Line Survey: Cycle 2 Observations) The Faint object Spectrograph (Red Side) was used to make observations of quasar PKS0003+15. This is a continuation of proposal FOS 2424. The OSS monitored the observations and assessed the data quality. No anomalies were reported. 2.0 FLIGHT OPERATIONS SUMMARY: 2.1 Guide Star Acquisitions: Scheduled Acquisitions : 8 Successful : 8 Scheduled Reacquisitions : 9 Successful : 9 2.2 FHST Updates: Scheduled : 17 Successful : 17 2.3 Significant HSTARs: None 2.4 Operations Note: The SMGT 14B Prime Simulation was completed, Thursday ,Nov. 4 from 8 AM and through 2 PM.
