Daily Status Report as of 035/0000Z

1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Completed FOS/BL/GHRS/1 6795 (Sleuthing the Dynamo: The Final =
Frontier)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph (Blue Side) and the High Resolution =
Spectrograph (Side One) were both used to make ultraviolet observations =
of late-type STAR-0344.  This is to study the nature of its magnetic =
activity, which is thought to be the link between the hydro-magnetic =
dynamo deep inside the star and the violent state of its outer most =
coronal layers.  The observations were completed as planned, and no =
problems were reported.

   1.2 Completed Two Sets of WF/PC-2 7553 (Pure Parallel Archive Survey =
II)

       WF/PC-2 parallel observations were obtained in the ultraviolet in =
search for interesting objects.  This program is designed to find =
extragalactic sources with near ultraviolet excesses (3000 A0) outside =
the galactic plane and far ultraviolet sources (1600 A0) in the galactic =
plane.  The procedure was executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were =
reported. 

   1.3 Completed FGS 6479 (Masses of Low Luminosity Hyades Cluster =
Members)

       The FGSs were used to make astrometric observations of low =
luminosity star VA351 which is a member to the Hyades Cluster.  This =
cluster, owing to its nearness, richness, and young age, occupies a =
pivotal role in the studies of star formation and stellar populations.  =
The observations were executed as planned, and no anomalies were =
reported. 

   1.4 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 3C22.0.  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.

   1.5 Completed Two Sets of FOS/RD 6039 (The young , Rapidly-Evolving =
Planetary nebula HE3-1357)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph (Red Side) was used to make =
spectrographic observations of the young, rapidly evolving planetary =
nebula HE3-1357 (Sectors R, S and O).  It appears that this planetary =
nebula is no older than 40 years.  The evolution of this object should =
allow a strict test of the models and theories for the early evolution of =
planetary nebulae.  The observations were executed as scheduled, and no =
anomalies were noted.

   1.6 Completed WF/PC-2 6629 (Observations of a New Sample of =
Gravitational Lens Candidate)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of the gravitational =
lens candidate QSO-103334.  This object was identified in the first and =
second phases of the Cosmic Lens All-Sky Survey done with the Very Large =
Array radio telescope.  The observations were executed as scheduled, and =
no anomalies were noted.

   1.7 Completed WF/PC-2 6557 (WF/PC-2 Imaging of Intermediate Redshift =
Absorption Selected Galaxies)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of the galaxy Q1511-FIEL =
where a halo appears to be absorbing light from the background =
quasi-stellar object (QSO).  The observations were completed as planned, =
and no problems were reported.

   1.8 Completed WF/PC-2 6773 (The Bucher-Oemler Effect in Nearby =
Clusters of Galaxies)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of several starburst and =
post-starburst regions the nearby galaxies and the coma of galaxy =
DC2048-D15.  These data will be studied to determine what triggers major =
episodes of star formation and what physically undermines the observed =
Butcher-Oemler effect in more distant galaxies.  The observations were =
completed as planned, and no problems were reported.

   1.9 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 RHY206 (M-Class Dwarf Stars) which is located in the Hyades Cluster. =
 The observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were =
noted.

   1.10 Completed WF/PC-2 6749 (A Study of the Gaseous Halo of the =
Andromeda Galaxy)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make absorption line spectrographic =
observations of object QSO 0035+4112A which is located behind the  =
Andromeda Galaxy (aka, M-31) in order to study the galaxy's gaseous halo. =
 The QSO's light passes through the galaxy.  The distribution, ionization,=
 and kinematics of the gas will be investigated.  The observations were =
completed as planned and no anomalies were reported.
