HUBBLE SPACE TELESCOPE DAILY REPORT #1153 PERIOD COVERED: 0700 EST Daily Status Report as of 157/1200Z. 1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED: 1.1 Completed WF/PC-2 5560 (WF/PC-2 Cycle 4 Calibration: Internal Monitor. 1) The WF/PC-2 was used to make several internal bias, K-Spot, and flat calibration observations to monitor the CCD camera electronics, the optical alignment, and to check for contamination. A total of ten images were taken. There was a bias jump on one of the bias exposures. No other anomalies were noted. 1.2 Completed WF/PC-2 5476 (Continuum Snapshots of 3CR Radio Galaxies) The WF/PC-2 was used to make a snapshot image of radio galaxy 3C325.0 as part of a continuum survey and to study the galaxy's morphology. The image was received and displayed. No problems were noted. 1.3 Completed FGS 4884 (High Speed Astrometry: A Search for Planetary Companions to Low-Mass Stars) The FGSs were used to make observations of Barnard's star to look for astrometric companions (i.e., a Jupiter-sized companion). A total of 9.5 observations out of 11 were monitored. They were reported to be nominal. The first 1.5 observations occurred during LOS. Observation two was executed in fine lock at AOS. 1.4 Completed WF/PC-2 5092 (GTO Low Latitude Parallel Program : Cycle 4) The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations taken in parallel with the prime science observations. This is part of a survey to take pictures of a large number of fields within 30 degrees of the galactic plane. Five observations were received and displayed. There were some recenterings reported, and no other problems were noted. 1.5 Completed WF/PC-2 5643 (WF/PC-2 Cycle 4 Calibration: Partially Rotated Filters) The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of star GRW+70D5824, using partially rotated quad filters. The observations was executed as scheduled. The first observations was reported to be saturated. The next nine observations were examined and the target was reported to not look right in some of the filters, but it was reported that this may be due to features of the filters. Two final observations were examined, and were reported to look okay. 1.6 Completed WF/PC-2 5629 (WF/PC-2 Cycle 4 Photometric Calibration Monitor 1C: 4-Chip STD in F170W) The WF/PC-2 was used to make photometric calibration observations of the ultraviolet standard star GRW+70D5824 . The observations were executed as scheduled. Two observations were executed in fine lock. The slews appeared to execute as desired. The data was received in the OSS, but not yet examined. 1.7 Completed GHRS/2 5360 (Mass Loss and Iron Curtain in Symbiotic Systems) The High Resolution Spectrograph (Side Two) was used to make observations of symbiotic system AG-Peg. A total of thirteen observations were monitored in the OSS. No anomalies were noted for most of the observations. One observations was not received in a Science Tape Recorder dump. However, it was received completely in real-time. 1.8 Completed Three Sets of S/C/FOS/BL 5528 (FOS Cycle 4 Focus, X-Pitch, and Y-Pitch) The Faint Object Spectrograph (Blue Side) was used to make both a TALED and WAVE calibration observations. No external sources were used. Thirteen observations were completed as scheduled, and four of the observations were not able to be examined due to Ethernet problems in SOGS. Subsequent examination reported that all observations looked fine. 1.9 Completed Two Sets of WF/PC-2 5479 (Subarcsecond Structure in Nearby AGNs) The WF/PC-2 was used to make snapshot observations of the nearby active galactic nuclei of Mark-704. The observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted. 1.10 Completed GHRS/1 5413 (The Local ISM Flow Within the Heliosphere) The High Resolution Spectrograph was used to make observations to study the flow of neutral atoms in the interstellar medium by observing diffuse sky background in Lyman Alpha. The observations were executed as scheduled, and no problems were noted. 1.11 Completed WF/PC-2 5099 (Imaging and Spectroscopy of a Complete Sample of Bright Nearby Quasars) The WF/PC-2 was used to image nearby quasar PG1226+023. The observations were executed as scheduled, and on problems were reported. Four observations were received and displayed. Except for occasional recenterings, they were reported to look fine. 1.12 Completed Three Sets of WF/PC-2 5570 (WF/PC-2 Cycle 4 Calibration: Earthflats, Large Set) The WF/PC-2 was used to make a set of Earth flat calibration images using different filters in order to construct high quality flat fields of the OTA illumination pattern. A total of eight images were received and displayed. One was underexposed, one was saturated, and the others were okay. 1.13 Completed WF/PC-2 5351 (Properties of Intermediate Redshift Galactic Disks Causing Damped Lyman-Alpha) The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations to study the diffuse material at intermediate redshifts that is identified by absorbing Lyman-Alpha spectrum from quasar EX0302-223. Nine observations were executed as scheduled. The first eight observations were received and displayed in the OSS. They were reported to look fine. The last observations remains on the Science Tape Recorder, and will be analyzed later. 1.14 Completed WF/PC-2 5415 (The Distance to the M-96 Galaxy Group: Cycle 4 Medium) The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of Cepheid variable stars within the galaxy NGC-3368 which itself is located in the M-96 galaxy cluster. This is to help determine the distance to this galactic group, and to improve the determination of the Hubble constant. The observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted. 1.15 Completed WF/PC-2 5651 (WF/PC-2 F606 PSF Wings Calibration) The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of M-67 to characterize the point-spread function. The observations were received and displayed in the OSS. They were reported to look okay. 1.16 Completed FOS/BL/RD 5379 (Probing the Lyman-Alpha Forest at 0.5
