Assigned ID: 896 ----- Attempting Submission 1 (Sat Feb 27 00:23:18 GMT 2010) ----- HST Phase I Proposal 896 (GOprop18.apt) successfully submitted. This is a second resubmit. I have ... (1) increased the acquisition of the target to 90 seconds as requested (only doing AQC/IMAGE now- dropped AQC/SEARCH). (2) modified the FP-POS shuttle ordering to sequence from 1->4 on Visit 1, and from 1->4->3 on Visit 2. (3) adjusted the buffer times to equal the exposure times. (4) updated the proposal description to reflect the above changes. ----- Attempting Submission 1 (Wed Jul 07 18:18:34 GMT 2010) ----- HST Phase II Proposal 12252 (GOprop18.apt) successfully submitted. ----- Attempting Submission 2 (Thu Jan 20 21:34:14 GMT 2011) ----- HST Phase II Proposal 12252 (GOprop18.apt) successfully submitted. ----- Attempting Submission 3 (Sat Jan 22 00:39:44 GMT 2011) ----- To the best of our knowledge, the "errors" are warnings that the use of the FP-POS are not of the highest efficiency. We are aware of this: the program is designed so that we have maximum wavelength coverage, i.e. use all FP-POS positions for the (two) targets. We accept this minor reduction in effciency in orde to achieve our science objectives. We attempted to follow the directions to run "All Tools", but were unable to locate this option. Please inform us if we are missing fatal errors. The Relative Kinematics of Galaxy Emission and Multiple Gas Phases in z~0.5 Extended Galaxy Halos Evidence abounds from quasar absorption line data that the extended gaseous halos of galaxies comprise multiple phases (densities, temperatures, ionization conditions). Developing a comprehensive and deeper understanding of the origin and persistence of extended galaxy halos, and their role in galaxy evolution, requires that these multiple phases be observed and analyzed. However, such studies that incorporate the host galaxies are virtually non-existent. The new COS instrument opens a new window in which the forest of FUV lines arising in neutral, low, AND high ionization halo gas can be probed with high resolution and sensitivity for multiple chemical species. For intermediate redshift galaxies, these lines are free of Ly-alpha forest contamination. We propose to obtain G160M COS/FUV high resolution spectra of the two quasars Q0454-220 (J0456-2159) and Q1038+064 (4c 06.41) in order to measure the neutral hydrogen Ly-beta, gamma, and delta transitions and the OVI 1031,1038 doublet and CII 1036 and CIII 977 transitions (as well as a few others that fall on the spectral format) in three intervening z~0.45 intervening gaseous halos. We augment the proposed observations with a similar pending COS spectrum (scheduled May 2010, PID 11667, PI Churchill) of the quasar TON 153, which will provide the multiphase absorption kinematics for two additional gaseous halos at z~0.67. The proposed observations will bring our final sample size to five. For these five systems, we have quantified the host galaxy morphologies (WFCP-2/HST images), measured the galaxy emission lines and rotation curves (ESI/Keck spectra), and analyzed the MgII 2796,2803 and FeII multiplet absorption (HIRES/Keck spectra). Our goal is to undertake a comprehensive analysis of the multiphase physical conditions in these five galaxy-absorber pairs. We aim to perform the first ever quantitative comparison of the relative relationships between neutral, low, and high ionization absorbing halo gas kinematics with the galaxy kinematics and morphologies. We will interprete the data using synthetic absorption line data of the same transitions for "quasar sightlines" through a Eulerian adaptive resolution hydrodynamic cosmological simulation following the methods of Kacprzak etal. (2010).
We planned G160M (centered at 1589 angstroms) spectra of the quasars QSO J0456-2159 (z=0.53) and 4C 06.41 (z=1.27). Accounting for overhead, we planned for total science exposure of 2 orbits for QSO J0456-2159 and 5 orbits for 4C 06.41. We use NUV ACQ/IMAGE acquisition with MIRROR B and TIME-TAG with FLASH=YES observations with manual FP-SPLITs (minimizing setup when possible while ensuring maximum spectral coverage). We assume the requested orbits are consecutive for a given target, such that each object requires one visit (for a total of two visits). Thus, target acquisition is required only on the first orbit of each visit. We manually shift FP-POS positions forward by one increment at a time to maximize orbital efficiency. For both visits, Orbit 1 requires setup overhead accounting for NUV AQC/IMAGE guide star and field acquisition, OSM1 movement to G160M from Mirror A, centering on central wavelength, and TIME-TAG setup, with no overhead charge starting at FP-POS=3 (default position).
