Initial submission. Assigned ID: 470 ----- Attempting Submission 1 (Fri Feb 25 18:13:42 GMT 2011) ----- Updated all WC3 UVIS exposures to include a POSTARG command so that target is ~centered in the UVIS1-2K2A-SUB subarray. POSTARG arguemnts for each are [POS TARG X, POS TARG Y] = [+10.00, -10.50]. ----- Attempting Submission 1 (Wed Jul 06 18:33:06 GMT 2011) ----- HST Phase II Proposal 12557 (FINAL_civrm_phase2.apt) successfully submitted. ----- Attempting Submission 2 (Tue Sep 13 19:31:24 GMT 2011) ----- There are 6 warnings (and no errors) in the diagnostics. The 6 warnings are all for the same reason: We are waiving the ACQ/SEARCH step for COS acquistion because we have coordinates that are accurate to 0.1". Low-Mass Black Holes and CIV in Low-Luminosity AGN The observed tight correlations between black hole mass and host galaxy properties evince a fundamental connection between their joint evolution. The key to understanding this co-evolution rests on the ability to measure the smallest black hole masses, which closely trace the formation of black holes. But, recent observational evidence suggests the smallest black holes and/or the smallest galaxies (especially pseudobulges) diverge from the scaling relations. There is therefore a pressing need: (1) to firmly establish multiple, independent measures of black hole mass in these smallest objects, and (2) to accurately determine properties of the host galaxy. Unfortunately, low AGN luminosity means that galaxy contamination is a prohibiting issue for normal ground-based measures of BH mass. But, in the UV this is not a problem allowing the use of CIV to measure BH masses through COS spectroscopy. Moreover, with WFC3 imaging we can unambiguously determine the bulge morphology and luminosity. Therefore, only with our proposed HST campaign to study 6 low-luminosity AGN will we be able to test whether or not the smallest black holes in the smallest galaxies are truly aberrations compared to their higher-mass counterparts.
COS SPECTROSCOPY We are taking UV spectra of 6 AGNs to measure the width of the CIV (1549) line as well as 1500 AA continuum flux. This can be done in a single COS/FUV spectrum. Our strategy is the same for each source: All sources have SDSS positions, which are generally accurate to 0.1". Thus we do not do an ACQ/SEARCH routine. We do COS/NUV imaging acquisition (ACQ/IMAGE) to acquire the source, and then observe in FUV with the G160M grating through the PSA with central wavelength 1600 AA. We observe in TIMETAG mode at all four FP-POS positions with FLASH=YES and BUFFER-TIME set to the exposure time minus 100 seconds for efficient readout. Exposure times for the ACQ/IMAGE exposures are set using the COS ETC with estimated 1500 AA flux based on the SDSS g-band flux and a standard AGN SED. Science exposures are made as large as possible to pad the orbit. WFC3 IMAGING We are observing 5 of the 6 host galaxies with WFC3 in both IR and UVIS channels. The sixth galaxy has sufficient archival data. Our strategy for each target is the same. In a single orbit, we observe first in IR with the F160W filter with the IRSUB256 subarray. Using the subarray minimizes overhead for these targets, which are small on the sky. All images are dithered using the WFC3-IR-DITHER-BOX-MIN dithering pattern with the SAMP-SEQ=SPARS25 readout schedule. The NSAMP parameter is adjusted for each source to maximize the exposure time while within the orbit, keeping the other exposures for each orbit in mind. The UVIS channel exposures are in the F555W filter with the UVIS1-2K2A-SUB subarray. All images are dithered 4x4 using the WFC3-UVIS-DITHER-BOX dithering pattern with CR-SPLIT=NO. Exposure times are set to maximum within a single orbit, keeping the other exposures in mind. .
