Receipt: # 15339-2 ----- Attempting Submission 3 (Fri Jul 14 19:40:26 GMT 2017) ----- ANDREW FOX, JULY 14 2017 The FP-POS warnings can be ignored as I am using the maximum number of FP-POS positions allowed (3 and 4) for G130M/1291 observations. The inefficent ordering of FP-POS warning on Visit 02 can also be ignored - I am intentionally using a 3,4,3,4 ordering to help reduce fixed pattern noise in the combined spectrum. The addition of the new Co-I Robert Simcoe was approved by head of SPG Claus Leitherer on 7/14/17 (see program history file). Properties of the Galactic Nuclear Wind at Low Latitudes A biconical nuclear wind drives gas out from the center of the Milky Way, replenishing the giant Fermi Bubbles with new material. We have been using HST/COS to characterize the properties of the cool gas in the nuclear wind via UV spectroscopy of background AGN. Until now, only one low-latitude (|b|<30 degrees) UV-bright AGN was known, hampering our understanding of the mechanism driving the outflow. Thanks to the new UV-bright Quasar Survey (UVQS), we have identified five new confirmed low-latitude AGN, all in the poorly explored southern Fermi Bubble. These low-latitude directions are ideal for studying the nuclear outflow since they probe its base, where the wind is launched, and where the X-ray, gamma-ray, and UV signatures of the outflow are strongest. We request COS/FUV spectroscopic observations of these five QSOs to probe the outflow with a range of low-ionization and high-ionization metal-line tracers. With these data we will assess the kinematics and ionization level of the southern outflow, and determine its gas mass, mass flow rate, patchiness, and symmetry with respect to the northern outflow. This program observes 5 QSOs near the Galactic Center with G130M/1291 (FP-POS=3 and 4) and G160M/1600 (FP-POS=1,2,3,4). In each visit a 2x2 ACQ/SEARCH and an ACQ/IMAGE (both with MIRRORB) is used for the target acquisition. Each target is observed in a single visit (2-4 orbits in length) except for the faintest target (UVQSJ1853-4158), which is split into a G130M visit and a G160M visit (4 orbits each). Targets 1 and 2 show small offsets in the DSS target confirmation charts. I have checked their coordinates in the UVQS and in SIMBAD and in the GALEX images, and they should be fine with the 2x2 ACQ/SEARCH. All exposures pass APT/BOT with GALEX.
