Talking with Linda Dressel, I learned that the usable quad-filter field in FQ508N on WFC3 is too small to fit the emission regions in NGC 5972. Therefore its [O III] observation has been replaced with one using the ACS ramp filter. This changes the orientation constraints, and the values to match that field with one WFC3 UVIS chip give a very short scheduling window. So the WFC3 filter observations have been pulled into a separate visit and given a new dither pattern to cross the CCD gap, so that visit (9) has no orientation constraints and much wider scheduling windows. Also, in visit 3, the pointing for broadband filters has been changed from UVIS2-FIX to UVIS1-FIX for a better PSF match with the quad filter (which has been updated in this resubmission to the -QUAD rather than -QUAD-FIX pointing for widest available field around the target nucleus. Latest update revised ORIENT ranges for visit 9 to keep two bright stars out of regions that would produce damaging reflections. ----- Attempting Submission 1 (Wed Aug 10 15:01:43 GMT 2011) ----- HST Phase II Proposal 12525 (phase2-0811v2rev.apt) successfully submitted. ----- Attempting Submission 2 (Tue Aug 16 00:51:54 GMT 2011) ----- HST Phase II Proposal 12525 (phase2-0811v2rev.apt) successfully submitted. ----- Attempting Submission 3 (Thu Aug 18 20:18:18 GMT 2011) ----- Only small dither motions are used, so they do not affect the available field when using ramp and quad filters. Giant Ionized Clouds Around Local AGN - Obscuration and History We propose emission-line and continuum imaging of a set of giant ionized clouds around nearby AGN, most newly identified by the Galaxy Zoo project. These are selected to be most likely to show fading of the AGN over times <100,000 years, based on energy balance arguments. The images can show signatures of fading based on recombination timescales, and evidence of additional outflow from the AGN shown in triggered star formation and morphology of gas features. These objects are smaller counterparts of the giant nebulosity Hanny's Voorwerp, where the AGN must have faded by 1000x within 200,000 years, and could help shed light on hitherto inaccessible timescales in AGN. In particular, results on Hanny's Voorwerp lead us to speculate that the fading has been accompanied by increased kinetic energy output ("mode switching"), which we can likewise seek in these less energetic counterparts.
We wil trace the intensity and ionization structure of giant (R>10 kpc) nebulae found around AGN by the Galaxy Zoo project; our sample includes those for which the nuclear luminosity fails to accont for the ionization of the extended clouds, indicatig that the AGN has faded over the relevant light-travel times (30,000-100,000 years). Images include WFC3 medium-band continuum images near 6000 and 7500 A, and narrowband images covering redshifted [O III] and H-alpha. For this we use WFC3 filters where an apporopriate one exists, and ACS ramp-filter imaging otherwise. Each exposure has a 2-position dither to allow drizzle reconstruction; we will use the STScI CTE routines to mitigate the effects of cosmic-ray damagae on charge transfer, especially for the ACS.
