0 Assigned ID: 1206 ----- Attempting Submission 1 (Sun May 22 18:21:06 GMT 2016) ----- INEFFICIENT ORDERING OF FP-POS POSITIONS Added ETC results. Updated STIS BUFFER-TIME to value recommended by ETC. First STIS spectrum (visit 2) should take palce as soon after COS spectrum as possible. 185247561 ----- Attempting Submission 1 (Thu May 26 21:05:49 GMT 2016) ----- ----- Attempting Submission 2 (Thu May 26 23:51:02 GMT 2016) ----- HST Phase II Proposal 14516 (phaseII.14516.apt) successfully submitted. Receipt: # 14516-2 ----- Attempting Submission 3 (Fri May 27 06:04:25 GMT 2016) ----- First COS orbit requires target acquisition, second does not. Different available exposure times thus make optimal splitting of FP-POS positions impossible. We thus request ALL postions in each orbit for a uniform exposure time in each position. UV Spectroscopy of the Superluminous Supernova Gaia16apd Optical transient searches have yielded a diverse sample of supernovae with peak luminosities 10-100 times greater than common. These superluminous supernovae have been shown to be especially UV bright, which make these objects ripe for discovery at high redshifts. However, there is a dearth of rest-frame, far-UV (FUV; lambda < 1700A) spectra of superluminous supernovae available to enable classification of these high redshift discoveries. Here we request COS and STIS UV spectroscopy of the recently discovered Gaia16bpd. These data will set a local reference point to compare against high redshift SLSN candidates, and it will open a new window on the physical nature of SLSN, which remains a source of debate. We request three observations of Gaia16apd. For the first visit, we request two COS orbits followed by one STIS orbit. If possible, these should be three consecutive orbits, however this is not strictly required. Next we request one STIS orbit to take place about 10 days after the initial observation, and one last STIS orbit to take palce about 20 days after the initial observation.
