HUBBLE SPACE TELESCOPE DAILY REPORT #1182 PERIOD COVERED: 0700 EST Daily Status Report as of 199/1200Z. 1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED: 1.1 Completed WF/PC-2 5479 (Subarcsecond Structures in Nearby AGNs) The WF/PC-2 was used to make snapshot observations of the nearby active galactic nuclei of UM614. One observations was received and displayed in the OSS. It was reported to be nominal. 1.2 Completed S/C 5582 (FOC-48 Monthly Activation (Camera Section Only) Cycle 4) The FOC (f/48) camera section activation went as planned, and no anomalies were noted. A dark calibration image was taken. 1.3 Completed WF/PC-2 1070 (High Resolution Imaging of Radio Galaxies at Large Redshift) The WF/PC-2 was used to make deep images of radio galaxy 3C68.2. Three images were received and displayed. 1.4 Completed WF/PC-2 5629 (WF/PC-2 Cycle 4 Photometric Monitor 1C: 4-Chip STD in F170W) The WF/PC-2 was used to make photometric calibration observations of the ultraviolet standard star GRW+70D582. Two observations were received and displayed. They were reported to be nominal. 1.5 Completed Two Sets of WF/PC-2 5446 (The Nuclei of Nearby S0 and Spiral Galaxies) The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of galaxies NGC-7424 and IC5201. The observations were executed as scheduled, and the science data was analyzed later. No anomalies were noted. 1.6 Completed Two Sets of WF/PC-2 5427 (Calibration of Nearby Galaxy Type IA Supernovae as Standard Candles) The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of nearby galaxies NGC-4496-A-F and NGC-4536-FI as part of an effort to find Cepheids in these galaxies which have produced a Type I supernova. The observations were executed as scheduled. The observations remained on the science tape recorder, and was analyzed later. No anomalies were noted. 1.7 Completed WF/PC-2 5419 (A Search of Very Low Luminosity Active Galactic Nuclei in Nearby Galaxies) The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of galaxy NGC-6951, which is known to have a ultraviolet bright, low-luminosity, active galactic nuclei. The observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted. 1.8 Completed WF/PC-2 5397 (Determination of the Extragalactic Distance Scale: Cycle 4 High) The WF/PC-2 was used to make images of galaxy NGC-7331 to be used in measuring the periods of Cepheid variable stars within the galaxies. The observations were completed as scheduled, and no problems were reported. 1.9 Completed GHRS-2 5158 (Zeta Oph Heavy Interstellar Elements: Cycle 4) The High Resolution Spectrograph (Side Two) was used to make observations of star Zeta Ophiuchi. The small science aperture onboard target acquisition failed to locate the target. (Note that the software will center the brightest thing it finds, so no error was issued.) Six observations were reported to be blank. In addition, a carrousel reset caused an observation to run too long. Consequently the last observation never occurred. 1.10 Completed WF/PC-2 5570 (WF/PC-2 Cycle 4 Calibration: 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. The observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted. 1.11 Completed WF/PC-2 5655 (WF/PC-2 Cycle 4 Calibration: Internal Monitor . 2: Flats Part 2) The WF/PC-2 was used to make visual flats. Six images were received and displayed. They all were reported to be nominal. 1.12 Completed WF/PC-2, FOC, FOS, and GHRS 5642 (Observations of the Impact of Comet Shoemaker-Levy (1993E) and Jupiter) All of the major science instruments were used to make observations to support the Jupiter/Shoemaker-Levy event. There were many unusual and unique features to this proposal. A large number observations were received and displayed in the OSS. Most of the observations were reported to be nominal. 1.13 Completed WF/PC-25563 (WF/PC-2 Cycle 4 Photometric Calibration Monitor 1: UV/OPT STD) The WF/PC-2 was used to make photometric calibration images of ultraviolet standard star GRW+70D582 and monitor the photometric stability and quantum efficiency of the WF/PC-2. Five observations were received and displayed. They all were reported to be nominal. 1.14 Completed FGS 5657 (Duplicity Among Hyades Stars: Cycle 4 High) The FGSs (TRANS-Mode) were used to make astrometric observations of star VA52 located in the Hyades cluster in an attempt to find a close binary. The observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted. 1.15 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. The images were received as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted. 1.16 Completed FOS/RD 5456 (The BAL Region Covering Factor in QSOs With Weak Narrow Line O III Emissions) The Faint Object Spectrograph (Red Side) was used to make spectrographic observations of the active galactic nuclei of nearby QSO Q1402+4341 to study weak, narrow O III emissions and strong Fe II emissions in BAL regions. Two observations were received and displayed. They both were reported to be okay. 1.17 Completed WF/PC-2 5369 (HST Medium Deep Survey: Cycle 4 Medium, High Galactic Latitude) The WF/PC-2 made an observation of high latitude objects as part of a medium deep sky survey. The observation was taken in parallel with other prime science observations. The observation was received and displayed, and reported to be okay. 1.18 Completed WF/PC-2 5663 (WF/PC-2 Cycle 4: Photometric Calibration Monitor: Fields Part 2) The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of globular Cluster NGC-5139 with various filters in order to check the photometric calibration of the WF/PC-2. Five observations were received and displayed in the OSS. They all were reported to look okay. 1.19 Completed FGS 5333 (Linking the HIPPARCOS to the Extragalactic Reference Frame BR12-23, Part 2) The FGSs were used to obtain astrometric observations on stars INCA221-17 and 1062-REF whose apparent positions lie near extragalactic objects. These stars will also be observed with the HIPPARCOS satellite. The intent is to tie the HIPPARCOS reference frame to the extragalactic frame. Five astrometric observations were monitored in real-time. They were reported to be okay. 1.20 Completed FGS 5557 (Intermediate Plate Scale: Cycle 4 Calibration) FGS #3 was used to make astrometric observations of stars HD65949-REF, 4727-J-REF, 4727-25, and 4727-227 to be used for plate scale calibrations. These stars were also observed using the HIPPARCOS satellite. The observations were executed as schedule, and no anomalies were noted. 1.21 Completed WF/PC-2 5370 (HST Medium Deep Survey: Cycle 4 Medium, High Galactic Latitude, CR-SPLIT) The WF/PC-2 was used in parallel with the prime science observations to make high galactic latitude observations as part of a medium-deep sky survey. The observations were completed as planned, and no problems were reported. 1.22 Completed Three Sets of WF/PC-2 5562 (WF/PC-2 Cycle 4 Calibration: Internal Monitor 3: Darks) The WF/PC-2 was used to obtain several 30-minute long, dark exposures to provide ongoing calibration of the CCD dark current and to monitor and characterize the evolution of hot pixels. The observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted. 1.23 Completed WF/PC-2 5384 (Resolved and Composite Properties of the Giant H II regions in M-33) The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of H II regions within galaxy M-33 known as M33-NEB6. The observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted. 2.0 FLIGHT OPERATIONS SUMMARY: 2.1 Guide Star Acquisitions: Scheduled Acquisitions : 9 Successful : 9 Scheduled Reacquisitions : 4 Successful : 4 2.2 FHST Updates: Scheduled :21 Successful :21 2.3 Significant HSTARs: None 2.4 Operations Notes: The continuing collisions of comet Shoemaker-Levy with the planet Jupiter have produced spectacular results which have been released throughout the weekend.
