HUBBLE SPACE TELESCOPE DAILY REPORT #1016 PERIOD COVERED: 0800 EST Daily Status Report as of 320/1200Z. 1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED: 1.1 Completed WFC 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 still on the science tape recorder, and will be analyzed later. 1.2 Completed FOS/RD 4817 (Quasar Absorption Line Survey: Cycle 2 Observations) The Faint Object Spectrograph (Both the Red and Blue Sides) were used to make observations of quasar OJ287 and PG1718+481. This is a continuation of proposals 2424 and 3791. It is hoped that these observations will learn more about the structure and evolution of the gas distribution over a wide range of scales, and to look for changes that are correlated with red-shift. The onboard peakup was successful, and no anomalies were reported with the science observations. 1.3 Complete Three Sets of WFC 5074 (WF/PC Cycle 3 Calibration: WFC Flats Narrow. 1) The Wide Field Camera was used to make Earth Flat images which will be used to remove pixel to pixel variations in the grain of the chips. Sixteen observations taken in pairs were taken for each filter. Two images were reported to be saturated, and two were underexposed. No other anomalies were noted. 1.4 Completed Three 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, normal exposures. One observation was received and was displayed. It was reported to look okay. The other observation remains on the science tape recorder, and will be analyzed later. 1.5 Completed FOS/RD 3837 (Spectropolarimetry of Low Red-Shift Active Galactic Nuclei) The Faint Object Spectrograph (Red Side) was used to make spectropolarimetry observations of the low luminosity, low red-shift quasar 1338+416, to look for signs of polarization from below the Lyman limit to Lyman Alpha. This polarization should result if scattering of light is taking place in the accretion disk, as predicted by theory. The onboard peakup target acquisition showed the target was located where expected, and the science observations were reported to be okay. 1.6 Completed WFC 4658 (Determination of the Extragalactic Distance Scale. III M-101) The Wide field Camera was used to make images of two different fields within the large spiral galaxy M-101 (aka, NGC-5457) which is located in Ursa Major. This is to help locate Cepheid variable stars to determine a reliable distance which can be effected by reddening and metallicity. The OSS monitored the observations, and assessed the data quality. No problems were reported. 1.7 Completed PC 4308 (Snapshot Survey for Companions to Planetary Nebula Nuclei - Cycle 3 High) The Planetary Camera was used to make observations of the central region of planetary nebula FG-SGE and NGC-7044. It is possible that the central stars are double stars. The OSS monitored the observation and assessed the data quality. No anomalies were reported. 1.8 Completed FOS/BL 3982 (Physical Conditions in the Narrow-Lined Region) Both Faint Object Spectrograph (Blue Side) and Wide Field Camera were used to make observations to make observations of Seyfert galaxy NGC-3393-OF. This object was selected based on early acquisition images obtained from proposal 2306. It is hoped these images will help learn more about the structure of the nucleus. The observations were executed as scheduled, and no problems were reported. 1.9 Completed WFC 5013 (WF/PC Cycle 3 Calibration: WFC Flats 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 observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted. 2.0 FLIGHT OPERATIONS SUMMARY: 2.1 Guide Star Acquisitions: Scheduled Acquisitions : 7 Successful : 7 Scheduled Reacquisitions : 8 Successful : 8 Loss of Lock after a reacquisition at 319/2156Z on FGS #1.
