1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Completed FOS/RD 6704 (Dust in the Broad-Lined Regions of Seyfert =
Galaxies)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph (Red Side) was used to make =
observations of the Seyfert galaxy MRK516 in order to study dust in its =
broad-line Balmer regions and weak nonstellar continuum.  Its =
characteristics may be caused by dust in the line of sight, or low =
optical depth and low ionization parameters in the Broad Line Region.  =
The observations were completed as planned, and no problems were =
reported.

   1.2 Completed FOC/96 6891 (Imaging and Polarization Studies of Radio =
Galaxies and Jets)

       The Faint Object Camera (f/96) was used to make observations of =
radio galaxy NGC-6251 to study optical emissions associated with its =
radio hot spots.  The observations were executed as scheduled, and no =
anomalies were noted.

   1.3 Completed WF/P-2 6254 (GTO Pure Parallel Program - Cycle 5)

       The WF/PC-2 was use to make random long exposures of high galactic =
fields taken in parallel with the prime science observations to obtain a =
random sample of galaxies.  The observations were executed as scheduled, =
and no anomalies were noted.

   1.4 Completed WF/PC-2 6184 (WF/PC-2 Cycle 5 Photometric Calibration =
Monitor UV/OPT STD)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make ultraviolet and optical observations =
of standard star GRW+70D582 in order to monitor the photometric =
calibrations of the camera and to check for decontamination.  The =
observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.5 Completed WF/PC-2 6329 (A Photometric Search for Planets of Nearby =
Stars)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make photometric observations of nearby =
star HD187642 in order to search for planets.  The technique involves use =
of the Planetary Camera with narrow and wide bandpass filters to measure =
photometrically the presence of resolved dark companions.  The =
observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted. 

   1.6 Completed WF/PC-2 6419 (Testing Unified Models With a Complete =
Sample of Seyfert Galaxies)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of the Seyfert galaxy =
MARK313 to help build a complete survey of the Seyfert class of galaxies. =
 This will help test the current model for Seyfert class galaxies.  This =
model proposes that all Seyferts have Seyfert-1 nucleus, which is surround=
ed by a torus of gas and dust.  The observations were completed as =
planned and no anomalies were noted.

   1.7 Completed WF/PC-2 6348 (Blue Continuum Snapshots of 3CR Radio =
Galaxies)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make some snapshot images of the blue =
continuum in radio galaxy 3C277.3.  Combined with existing data, these =
exposures will provide high spatial resolution information on the color =
distribution within galaxies, redding due to dust, spacial indices of the =
optical synchrotron jets, and colors of the active nuclei and tidal jets. =
 The observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were =
noted.

   1.8 Completed GHRS/2 6748 (Abundances of Very Heavy Elements in the =
Early Galaxy III)

       The High Resolution Spectrograph (Side Two) was used to make =
observations of the very old, metal poor, halo star HD115444.  From these =
spectra, the abundances of irridium, lead, platinum, and osmium will be =
determined.  These elements are synthesized in stellar interiors by =
either rapid or slow neutron capture processes.  The observations were =
completed as planned, ands no problems were reported.
