In the Baade-Wesselink method, spectra of either line_3: a type I or II supernova are taken several times during the first month after line_4: outburst; the observed fluxes, expansion velocity, date of outburst, and line_5: redshift of the parent galaxy, when compared to models, allow a determination line_6: of qo. The second approach assumes that adequate understanding and line_7: modelling of type I and type II supernovae will allow us to use them line_8: as standard candles. ! ! end of abstract general_form_proposers: lname: BEAVER fname: EDWARD inst: UC, SAN DIEGO country: USA ! lname: BURBIDGE fname: E.

A short PC picture, with filter F555W, will be taken to line_4: derive accurate coordinates. Ten bright SN will be studied spectroscopically line_5: with the FOS and gratings G130H, G190H, G270H, G400H, G570H, and G780H. A line_6: brief PC picture will be obtained with filter F555W to determine the line_7: morphology of the host galaxy. line_13: Exposures: line_14: Baade-Wesselink Target: 1,15 Cycle: 9 Line: 9-9.2 line_16: Standard Candles Target: 3,4,5,6,7 Cycle: 2,2,3,3,4 Line: 19-19.4 line_17: .........................9,10,11,12,13 Cycle: 3,2,3,4,4 Line: 20-20.4 ! question: 4 section: 1 line_1: HST spatial resolution is essential for reducing host galaxy background when line_2: acquiring spectra of the faint supernovae, and for distant host galaxy line_3: morphology determination. The ultraviolet response is needed for complete line_4: spectral coverage. ! question: 5 section: 1 line_1: Interactive acquisition is needed due to the complexity of the fields, as line_2: well as the faintness of the objects. The different wavelength regions line_3: covered for each object must be observed with minimal time delay due to line_4: the rapid variability of the objects. Repeat observations during about a line_5: one month period must be scheduled for the Baade-Wesselink supernova line_7: (observation 1). The SV prerequisite programs for all FOS observations in line_8: this program are: line_9: Prop. ID 2195....FOS Target Acquisition Tests....All observations line_10: Prop. ID 1317....Int./Ext. Wavelength Offsets....1st target line_11: Prop. ID 1318....Spectral Flat Fields............1st target line_12: Prop. ID 1320....Absolute Spectrophotometry..... 1st visit of line_13: .................................................bright targets line_15: Use the results of the interactive PC acquisition to center line_16: the targets in exposure lines 9.1-9.2. line_18: If WF/PC-assisted INT ACQ is not possible, then line 1 will line_19: be replaced by an INT ACQ FOS target acquisition. This is line_20: tested in FOS SV program 1427. ! question: 7 section: 1 line_1: Data reduction will be performed at the STScI, and the analysis will be line_2: performed using FOS IDT computer facilities. ! question: 8 section: 1 line_1: The supernovae to be observed will be discovered in ground-based observations, line_2: including the CTI survey of R. Angel at the University of Arizona. line_4: The filters were changed based on discussions with Pat Seitzer, line_5: who said that the original filter (F128LP) would not be line_6: calibrated. The integration times were shortened to avoid line_7: saturation. The change from WFC to PC was done to improve line_8: resolution. ! question: 10 section: 1 line_1: Data analysis, research assistant support, and funding will be provided under line_2: NASA's FOS GTO contract(s). ! question: 13 section: 1 line_1: Supernovae will be used to determine qo, using both the Baade-Wesselink line_2: and the standard candle technique. ! !end of general form text general_form_address: lname: HARMS fname: RICHARD mi: J. title: DR. category: PI inst: APPLIED RESEARCH CORP. addr_1: 8201 CORPORATE DRIVE addr_2: SUITE 1120 city: LANDOVER state: MD zip: 20785 country: USA phone: (301) 459-8442 ! ! end of general_form_address records !
