HUBBLE SPACE TELESCOPE DAILY REPORT #1525 PERIOD COVERED: 0000Z (UTC) 11/28/95 - 0000Z (UTC) 11/29/95 Daily Status Report as of 333/0000Z 1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED: 1.1 Completed WF/PC-2 5971 (HST Medium Deep Survey) The WF/PC-2 was used to make long exposure, medium deep sky survey = observations at latitudes larger than 10 degrees taken in parallel with = the prime science observations. The observations were executed as = scheduled, and no anomalies were noted. 1.2 Completed Two Sets of GHRS/2 5315 (Stellar Wind Instabilities) The High Resolution Spectrograph (Side Two) was used to obtain high = signal/noise spectra of the N V, Si IV, and C IV lines of the O-star = HD210839. The objective is to monitor the stellar wind on short time = scales at sufficiently high signal to distinguish between low-velocity, = mechanically-driven instabilities and intrinsic, radiatively-driven = instabilities, and to define the interaction between the two regimes. The = observations were executed as scheduled, and no problems were reported. 1.3 Completed WF/PC-2 6188 (WF/PC-2 Cycle 5 Calibration: Dark) The WF/PC-2 was used to make internal dark calibration images. The = observations were completed as scheduled, and no problems were reported. 1.4 Completed WF/PC-2 5836 (Saturn Ring Plane Crossing Observations in = August and November 1995) The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of the rings of the = planet Saturn during the ring plan crossing in order to determine their = thickness and distortion. The moons Pan and Atlas will also be observed. = The observations were completed as planned, and no problems were reported. 1.5 Completed WF/PC-2 6250 (WF/PC-2 Cycle 5 Calibration: Internal Monitor) The WF/PC-2 was used to make a series on internal calibration = observations. Internal flats, biases, and K-Spot calibration images were = taken. These observations are designed to monitor the health of the = cameras. The observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies = were noted. 1.6 Completed WF/PC-2 6115 (A Low-Z Damped Lyman Alpha Absorption Galaxy) The WF/PC-2 was used to examine the spectrum of QSO PG0117+213 in = order to observe the low-redshift damped Lyman Alpha absorption. It is = thought that this absorption may be caused by a spiral galaxy in the line = of sight to the QSO. It is expected that the QSO will show saturation and = bleeding, since the area of interest is within a few arcseconds of the = QSO. The observations were executed as scheduled, and no problems were = reported. 1.7 Completed WF/PC-2 5998 (The Evolution of Massive Stars: Closing the = Loop Observationally) The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of (OB Class) massive = star M-33-FLD2 which is located in the Andromeda galaxy. The goal is to = study the evolution of this class of massive stars. The observations were = executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted. 1.8 Completed WF/PC-2 5845 (Polarization of Disks around T-Tauri) The PC and polarization filter POLQ were used to image the = nebulosity surrounding the T Tauri star HL-Tau. These data will test = various models for scattered light from central sources. Systematic = errors will be avoided by using one polarizer and allowing the spacescaft = roll to provide the rotation by observing the target three times at 120 = day intervals. The observations were executed as scheduled, and no = problems were reported. 1.9 Completed WF/PC-2 5958 (HST Observations of New Gravitational Lens = Candidates) The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of object 0956+122 which = is a candidate for a new gravitational lens system. The observations were = completed as planned, and no problems were reported. 2.0 FLIGHT OPERATIONS SUMMARY: 2.1 Guide Star Acquisitions: Scheduled Acquisitions : 9 Successful : 9 Scheduled Reacquisitions : 6 Successful : 6 2.2 FHST Updates: Scheduled : 15 Successful : 15 2.3 Operations Notes: A TTR was written to document the fact that STGT was unable to = support two service requests totalling approximately ten and one-half = minutes. As a result, 16 seconds of engineering data was lost. Over the last several days, the coldest battery #6 temperature = observed by flight operations personnel was -4.57 degrees C. All of the = batteries generally range between -2 degrees C and -4.17 degrees C. 3.0 SIGNIFICANT FORTHCOMING EVENTS: SMGT-29 will be run today. /DMH
