HUBBLE SPACE TELESCOPE DAILY REPORT #1025 PERIOD COVERED: 0800 EST Daily Status Report as of 334/1200Z. 1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED: 1.1 Completed PC 5072 (WF/PC Cycle 3 Calibration: PC Flats Wide. 1) Both the Wide Field Camera and the Planetary camera were used to make Earth Flat calibration exposures using the wide and medium band filters. The OSS monitored the observations and assessed the data quality. No anomalies were reported. 1.2 Completed PC 4929 (WF/PC Cycle 2: Improved Dark Calibration) The Planetary Camera was used to make dark calibration images. The exposures lasted 1200 seconds each, and the camera was pre-flashed before the observations. The observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were reported. 1.3 Completed HSP/UV2 4946 (Variability of High Luminosity Stars - Cycle 2 High) The High Speed Photometer was used to make two 80 minute observation of the massive high luminosity star HD216411 looking for short period fluctuations in its luminosity. The observations were executed as schedule, and no anomalies were noted. 1.4 Completed Two Sets of 4468 (Ultraviolet Spectroscopy of AG CAR in its Current Outburst Cycle) The Faint Object Spectrograph was used to make observations of the variable star AG Carine (aka, HD94910) and the standard polarization standard star BD+64D106. AG Carine is known to have outburst about once every 15 years during which the mass loss rate increases significantly. The observations were monitored in the OSS. Enough real-time engineering telemetry was received to determine that the onboard peakup target acquisition located the target: except for some recentering, the science data executed with no problems. 1.5 Completed Two Sets of WFC 4770 (WF/PC Cycle 2 Calibration: Internal Monitor Proposal) The Wide Field Camera was used to make bias and dark calibration images. These data are required for routine calibration of the instrument and for data reduction purposes. Seven observations were received and displayed in the OSS. Three observations were reported to be saturated, and the other four images were okay. 1.6 Completed FOS/BL 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 0405-123 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 observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were reported. 1.7 Completed PC 5014 (WF/PC Cycle 3 Calibration: PC Flats Narrow. 2) 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 observation was monitored in the OSS, and no anomalies were reported. 1.8 Completed 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. 1.9 Completed WFC 5076 (WF/PC Cycle 3 Calibration: WFC Flats Wide. 2) Routine Earth flat calibration exposures were taken with the Wide Field Camera. The observations were monitored in the OSS, and the data quality was assessed. No problems were reported. 1.10 Completed WFC 5075 (WF/PC Cycle 3 Calibration: WFC Flats Wide. 1) Observations were made to make a standard calibration to obtain Earth flats using the Wide Field Camera. All of the observations were taken. No anomalies were reported. 2.0 FLIGHT OPERATIONS SUMMARY: 2.1 Guide Star Acquisitions: Scheduled Acquisitions : 4 Successful : 4 Scheduled Reacquisitions : 11 Successful : 11 2.2 FHST Updates: Scheduled : 9 Successful : 9 2.3 Significant HSTARs: None 2.4 Operations Note: FSM Sequences 1, 2, and 3 were successfully complete this morning Tuesday, Nov. 30, 1993 at 333/1205Z.
