abstract:

    line_1:        Short exposures in the V and I bands will be made of the
    line_2:        Galactic globular cluster M15 with the Planetary Camera.
    line_3:        These exposures will be an important test of the ability
    line_4:        of the HST to do crowded field photometry.
    line_5:        Simulations suggest that the HST observations will be
    line_6:        much more powerful than ground-based observations and
    line_7:        can provide a useful constraint on a central Massive
    line_8:        Black Hole.

  question:        3
    section:       1
    line_1:        Three exposures will be taken of the core of M15.  This
    line_2:        series of exposures will give both colors (V and I) and
    line_3:        number densities for the brightest stars in the central
    line_4:        region of M15.

!

  question:        4
    section:       1
    line_1:        ST observations are required in order to resolve individual
    line_2:        stars in the core of M15 in sufficient numbers to permit a
    line_3:        determination of the stellar density law.

!

  question:        7
    section:       1
    line_1:        Data reduction and analysis will be performed at the
    line_2:        Institue for Advanced Study.

!

  question:        8
    section:       1
    line_1:        The target position should be placed at the center of one
    line_2:        CCD.

!

  question:        10
    section:       1
    line_1:        Computing support and research associates will be available
    line_2:        at the Institute for Advanced Study.
