Scientific Category 3. Proposal For 4. Proposal Type 5. Continuation ID INTERSTELLAR MEDIUM GTO/OS Sub Category SN & SNR ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 6. Principal Investigator Institution Country Telephone Philippe Crane EUROPEAN SOUTHERN OBSERVATOR GERMANY, W +49-89-320-06- ASTRONOMER-PHYSICIST ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 7. Abstract F/98 images in HBeta will be used to locate bright resolved regions of the Crab for further investigation with the f/48 spectrograph. The f/48 spectrograph is well suited for untangling the physics in the various filaments of the Crab. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 8.

GENERAL FORM Proposal 1060c PI: Philippe Crane Proposal Title: IMAGING AND SPECTROSCOPY OF CRAB NEBULA FILAMENTS: FUTURE-CYCLES OBSERVATIONS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1. Proposers: Proposers Institution Country ESA ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Philippe Crane EUROPEAN SOUTHERN OBSERVATORY GERMANY, WE X ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 3. Description of proposed observations. Exposures 1 + 2 are to be in cycle 1 Exposures 3 + 4 as soon after as feasible ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 6. Description of special calibration exposures. It is assumed that the normally provided calibration procedure will provide a 10% flux accuracy and +/- 1 A wavelength precision in 1st order. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 12. The exact position for pointing will be provided when requested in Phase II. The position given now in the Phase II submission is as close to the correct one as can be given at this time. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 13. High resolution images will be used to locate bright isolated filaments for spectroscopic investigations. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 11.
