PERIOD COVERED:  0000Z (UTC) 11/13/96 - 0000Z (UTC) 11/14/96

Daily Status Report as of 319/0000Z

1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Completed FOS/BL 6643 (Supersoft Sources in the LMC)

       The  Faint Object Spectrograph (Blue Side) was used to make =
observations of the supersoft source (aka, SSS) RXJ0513-69 which is =
located in the Large Magellanic Cloud.  This is a new class of objects =
characterized by their high luminosity and extreme soft X-ray spectra.  =
The observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were =
reported. 

   1.2 Completed Two Sets of FOS/BL 6407 (Post Asymptotic Giant Branch =
Evolution in the Magellanic Clouds)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph (Blue Side) was used to make =
ultraviolet spectrographic observations of planetary nebulei LMC-SMP38 =
which are located in the Large Magellanic Cloud.  These data should give =
the spatial structure, size, ionized masses, and dynamic ages of this =
object.  The observations were executed as planned, and no problems were =
reported. 

   1.3 Completed FOS/BL/RD/GHRS/1/WF/PC-2  6623 (HST Imaging and =
Spectroscopy of the Peculiar LMC H II Regions on N44C)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph (Blue Side), the WF/PC-2, and the =
High Resolution Spectrograph (Side One) were all used to make =
observations of H II region LMC-N44C-N which is located in the Large =
Magellanic Cloud.  This region exhibits unusually strong  nebular =
recombination emission from He II, indicating a hard rediation field.  =
However the ionizing star appears to be just a normal O class star.  The =
observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted. 

   1.4 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.

   1.5 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 object Q0202-460.  This is to determine if this high =
redshifted object has a far ultraviolet flux.  The observations were =
executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.6 Completed Two Sets of 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-2104 in order to study its central bulge.  The aim is =
to investigate the core properties, correlations 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.

   1.7 Completed FOS/RD 6417 (Star Formation in the Prototype Super =
Cluster R136)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph (Red Side) was used to make =
spectrographic observations of the star formation in the prototype super =
star cluster R136 in order to study its intense star formation regions.  =
This in fact may be the young analogs of globular clusters.   The observat=
ions were completed as scheduled, and no problems were reported.
