PERIOD COVERED:  0000Z (UTC) 06/05/96 - 0000Z (UTC) 06/06/96

Daily Status Report as of 158/0000Z

1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Completed FOC/96 6349 (Snapshot search for High Redshift QSOs with =
Far-UV Flux)

       The Faint Object Camera (f/96) was used to make snapshot images of =
the quasi-stellar objects Q1251+367 and Q0201-504.  This is to determine =
if these high redshifted objects have a far ultraviolet flux.  The =
observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.2 Completed WF/PC-2 6253 (Pure Parallel Archive Program)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to execute a pure parallel program taking =
ultraviolet observations running concurrently with prime science =
observations.  The intent is to search for extra-galactic sources with =
flux excesses at 3000 A0 and galactic sources with excesses at 1600 A0.  =
The observations were completed as planned, and no problems were =
reported.

   1.3 Completed WF/PC-2 5997 (The Cores of Elliptical Galaxies in the =
Coma Cluster)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of the large elliptical =
galaxies IC3947 and Gal-125930 which are located in the Coma Cluster.  =
The purpose is to study the luminosity profiles in their central nuclear =
region.  The observations were completed as scheduled, and no anomalies =
were noted.

   1.4 Completed Two Sets of WF/PC-2 6361 (High Resolution Imaging of =
X-Ray Selected AGNs)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make high resolution  observations of the =
known low red shifted x-ray active galactic nuclus (AGN) MS0721.2+6.  =
These data will allow a study of the optical properties of an unbiased =
sample of AGN host galaxies.  The observations were completed as =
scheduled, and no problems were reported.

   1.5 Completed GHRS/2/1 5830 (The Small Icy Particles of the A and B =
Rinds of Saturn)

       The High Resolution Spectrograph (Sides One and Two) were used to =
make spectrographic observations of the A and B rinds on the planet =
Saturn.  Voyager and IUE spectra show a strong absorption near 1650 A0 =
that may be to small water ice particles and/or water vapor.  The =
observations were executed as planned and no anomalies were reported.

   1.6 Completed WF/PC-2 6189 (WF/PC-2 Cycle 5 Calibration: Internal =
Monitor - Vis Flats)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make internal visual flat calibration =
images.  Both photometric and narrow-band filters were used.  The =
observations were executed as planned, and no problems were reported.

   1.7 Completed WF/PC-2 6116 (A Search For the Optical Counterpart of a =
Triple Pulsar System PRS-B1620)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations to search for the =
optical counterpart of the triple pulsar system PSR-B1620.  The =
observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.8 Completed FOS/RD 6577 (An Expanded Survey for Study of the =
Lyman-Alpha Line and QSO Mg II Absorption)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph (Red Side) was used to make =
observations of the QSO UM366 in order to make a survey of the =
Lyman-Alpha line and the 68 Mg II absorption line system.  The =
observations were completed as scheduled, and no problems were reported. 

   1.9 Completed WF/PC-2 5917 (The Globular Clusters in the Fornax Dwarf =
- Physical Parameters)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to search for globular clusters in dwarf =
galaxy Fornax-023 which is a member of the Fornax Galactic Cluster.  The =
cluster age, metal abundances, and radial profiles will be determined =
from the data.  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.
