Daily Status Report as of 184/0000Z

1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Completed WF/PC-2 6364 (Snapshot Survey of Proto-Planetary Nebulae =
and AGB Stars)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make some snapshot survey observations of =
protoplanetary nebular system R-Crb to study its circumstellar envelope.  =
The purpose is to discern the evolutionary sequence that produces =
axially-symmetric planetary nebulae.  The observations were executed as =
scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.2 Completed Two Sets of 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.

   1.3 Completed FOC/96 5835 (The Structure of the Inner Coma of the =
Comet Chiron)

       The Faint Object Camera (f/96) was used to make observations of =
the object/comet 2060 Chiron in order to study its inner coma.  The goals =
are to map the structure and color of the inner coma.  The observations =
were executed as planned, and no problems were reported.

   1.4 Completed WF/PC-2 6678 (Nearby Young Dwarf Galaxies and Their =
Lyman Alpha Emissions)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of the young, metal =
deficient, blue, compact, dwarf galaxy T1214-277 in order to study its =
Lyman Alpha emissions.  The observations were completed as planned, and =
no problems were reported.

   1.5 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.

   1.6 Completed FOS/BL 6612 (Damped Lyman-Alpha Absorption Lines From =
Moderate Redshifted Galaxies)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph (Blue Side) was used to make =
observations of the moderate redshifted galaxy/QSO UM301 in order to =
study the damped Lyman-Alpha absorption lines which are located in the =
line of sight to the object.  In addition, the neutral H column density =
will be determined.  The observations were completed as planed and no =
problems were reported.

   1.7 Completed Two Sets of 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.

   1.8 Completed FOS/RD 6059 (Imaging Low-Mass Companions of Nearby =
Stars)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph (Red Side) was used to make =
observations of low-mass nearby star GL293 to search for possible faint =
companions.  The bright star was placed behind an occulting bar.  The =
observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.9 Completed GHRS/1/2 6594 (White Dwarf Companions of Barium and CH =
Peculiar Stars)

       The High Resolution Spectrograph (Sides One and Two) were used to =
attempt to make spectrographic observations of the white dwarf of the =
Barium and CH Peculiar class star HD104979.  This will test the theory =
that abundance anomalies in this star caused by mass transfer from the pre=
cursor of the white dwarf.  The observations were executed as scheduled, =
and no anomalies were noted.

   1.10 Completed FOS/RD 6167 (FOS Cycle 5: Dark Monitoring)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph (Red Side) was used to make several =
dark calibration images.  All exposures were internals.  All spectra was =
done in the image mode.  The observations were completed as planned, and =
no problems were reported.
