Daily Status Report as of 010/0000Z

1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 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 galaxies NGC-1483 and NGC-488 in order to study their central =
bulges.  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.

   1.2 Completed WF/PC-2 6344 (Low - Mass Binaries in the Hyades - =
Completing the Survey)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of the low mass binary =
star RHY101 (M-Class Dwarf Stars) which is located in the Hyades Cluster. =
 A guide star acquisition failure was reported at 009/0525Z and the system=
 defaulted to SSM control (RGA only).  WF/PC-2 observations 65 and 66 =
were affected.  (See HSTAR 5868).  No other anomalies were noted.

   1.3 Completed Two Sets of GHRS/1/2 6522 (Probing the Extended Envelope =
of the Zeta Aur Type Binary 32 Cyg.)

       The High Resolution Spectrograph (Sides One and Two) was used to =
make spectrographic observations of the Zeta Aug class binary system =
HD192909 (aka, 32 Cyg) in order to study its extended envelope.  This =
binary system consists of a B class dwarf star, and a K class supergiant =
that eclipses the dwarf.  A wavelength calibration image was also taken.  =
The observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted. =


   1.4 Completed Three Sets of 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 WF/PC-2 6352 (Dwarf Eliptical Galaxy Snapshots)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to survey FCC208, from a sample of 30 dwarf =
eliptical galaxies.  The observations were completed as planned, and no =
anomalies were reported.

   1.6 Completed GHRS/1 6700 (GHRS Spectroscopy of the Exposed White =
Dwarf in The High Accretion Rate Dwarf Nova RX And)

       The High Resolution Spectrograph (Side One) was used to make =
ultraviolet spectrographic observations of the exposed, white dwarf nova, =
star RX-And in order to study its high accretion rates.  The observations =
were completed as planned, and no anomalies were reported. 

   1.7 Completed GHRS/2 6590 (The Metallicity of High-Velocity Cloud =
Complex C)

       The High Resolution Spectrograph (Side Two) was used to make =
ultraviolet spectrographic observations of the metallicity within the =
high velocity cloud known as Complex C within the Markarian Galaxy =
Mark290.  These observations can only be done using the HST telescope, =
because it is required to study spectral lines which are inaccessible by =
other ground based telescopes, and other satellites do not have the =
required sensitivity.  The observations were executed as scheduled, and =
no anomalies were noted. 

   1.8 Completed WF/PC-2 6360 (A Snapshot Survey of "Radio Loud" IRAS =
Galaxies)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make snapshot survey observations of the =
radio loud IRAS galaxy 1ES1059+65.  The WF/PC-2 was used to discern high =
surface brightness structures in its post-starburst active nuclear =
regions.  The observations were completed as scheduled, and no anomalies =
were reported.

   1.9 Completed WF/PC-2 6902 (WF/PC-2 Cycle 6 Photometric Calibration =
Monitor UV/OPT STD)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make both ultraviolet and optical =
photometric observations of the standard star GRW+70D582 as part of a =
Cycle 6 calibration procedure.  These observations were done immediately =
before and after decontamination procedures.  The observations were =
completed as planned, and no problems were reported.
