Page 1 PROPOSAL FOR HUBBLE SPACE TELESCOPE OBSERVATIONS ST ScI Use Only ID 1055c Report Date: 09-May-96:16:05 Version: ********** Check-in Date: ********** 1.Proposal Title: STUDIES OF THE `NORMAL' SPIRAL M81 -- CYCLE 0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2. Scientific Category 3. Proposal For 4. Proposal Type 5. Continuation ID GALAXIES & CLUSTERS GTO/OS Sub Category NUCLEI ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 6. Principal Investigator Institution Country Telephone Philippe Crane EUROPEAN SOUTHERN OBSERVATOR GERMANY, W (48-89)320-06- ASTRONOMER-PHYSICIST ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 7. Abstract M81 is a very nearby spiral galaxy with an extremely compact nucleus and weak Seyfert like activity. Studies with the FOC will provide unprecedented resolution in the nuclear regions. Imaging at f/96 and spectrosopy at f/48 are proposed to study both the gas and the stars in the nuclear region. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 8.

GENERAL FORM Proposal 1055c PI: Philippe Crane Proposal Title: STUDIES OF THE `NORMAL' SPIRAL M81 -- CYCLE 0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1. Proposers: Proposers Institution Country ESA ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ivan R. King UC, BERKELEY USA Philippe Crane EUROPEAN SOUTHERN OBSERVATORY GERMANY, WE X ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 3. Description of proposed observations. Exposures 3, and 4 should be in cycle 0 Exposures 1, 2, 5, and 6 should be in cycle 2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 6. Description of special calibration exposures. If exposure 6 is made, we will need a template calibration to compare with. We assume this will be a routine part of the ST calibration exercise. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 12. 71% of the observing time here should be charged to P. Crane's GTO time. 29%of the observing time here should be charged to I. R. King's GTO time. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 13.
