PERIOD COVERED:  0000Z (UTC) 04/11/96 - 0000Z (UTC) 04/12/96

Daily Status Report as of 103/0000Z

1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Completed FGS 6036 (Detection and Mass Determination of Low Mass =
Companions to nearby M Dwarf)

       The FGSs were used in both the POS and TRANS Modes to make =
astrometric observations of low mass companions to M class dwarf star =
GJ1081 and four reference stars.  This will lead to a mass determination =
for the stars.  The observations were completed as planned, and no =
anomalies were noted.

   1.2 Completed WF/PC-2 5990 (Globular Clusters in the Fornax Galaxies)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to search for globular clusters in galaxy =
Field-0336 which is a member of the Fornax Galactic Cluster.  Because the =
galaxies in the Fornax Cluster have different morphologies than those of =
the Local Group, the globular cluster systems are also expected to show =
differences.  The observations were executed as scheduled, and no =
anomalies were noted.

   1.3 Completed FOS/BL 6112 (UV-Bright Liners and the AGN Connection)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph (Blue Side) was used to make =
observations of the active galactic nuclei of the LINER galaxy NGC-4569 =
(which is known to have a ultraviolet bright nuclei).  The objectives are =
to study the ultraviolet properties of LINERs and to relate them to =
active galactic nuclei (AGNs) as a whole.  The observations were executed =
as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.4 Completed WF/PC-2 6187 (WF/PC-2 Cycle 5 Calibration: Earth Flat)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make Earth streak flat calibration images. =
 These streak flats will be used to produce flat fields, to map the OTA =
illumination pattern and, in combination with other data, to produce new =
superflats.  The observations were completed as planned, and no problems =
were reported.

   1.5 Completed WF/PC-2 6359 (Core Properties of the Bulges of Spiral =
Galaxies)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make snapshot survey observations of =
spiral galaxy NGC-3898 in order to study its central bulge.  The aim is =
to investigate the core properties, correlation's with global galactic =
properties, and the frequency of occurrence of multiple and/or =
miscentered nuclei.  The observations were completed as scheduled, and no =
anomalies were noted.

   1.6 Completed FOS/RD 6044 (Carbon in the ISM of Spirals)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph (Red Side) was used to obtain =
ultraviolet and optical spectra of the H II regions in the spiral galaxy =
NGC-5471.  The intent is to derive the C abundances and C/O ratios at =
several positions in this galaxy.  The observations were executed as =
scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.7 Completed WF/PC-2 5167 (Jovian Auroral Lyman-Alpha Profile: Cycle =
4 )

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of the northern auroral =
regions of the planet Jupiter to study the excitation processes and =
atmospheric properties in this region.  The observations were completed =
as planned, and no problems were reported.

   1.8 Completed WF/PC-2 5957 (Snapshot of 3CR Radio Galaxies)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations for radio galaxy 3C343.1 =
to study the morphology of the radio galaxy.  The observations were =
executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.
