Guide-star hand-off line_3: capability is required. ! ! end of abstract general_form_proposers: lname: CALDWELL fname: JOHN mi: J. inst: YORK UNIVERSITY country: CANADA ! ! end of general_form_proposers block general_form_text: question: 3 section: 1 line_1: This is a continuation proposal (Cycle 0 = 1285; Cycle 1 = 3309). The former line_2: observations are GHRS G200M spectra of Io to search for a gas-phase SO_2 line_3: absorption edge at 2116 A, with Ganymede as a calibrator. The current proposal line_4: using the FOS investigates a much broader spectral range, which includes many line_5: SO_2 bands with a large range of band strengths. ! question: 4 section: 1 line_1: ST is required to do spectroscopy below 3000 A, where SO_2 has strong features. line_2: ST will improve significantly upon the S/N ratio and spectral resolution that line_3: has been achieved by previous satellite UV studies. ! question: 5 section: 1 line_1: The proposed observations must be made for both Io and Europa at both orbital line_2: elongations. Because each satellite has synchronous rotation with Jupiter, this line_3: insures that two independent hemispheres will be covered for each satellite. line_4: Previous studies of several kinds strongly suggest that there are significant line_5: hemispherical variations on both Io and Europa. The orbital phase of Ganymede, line_6: which is to be used as a calibrator for the HRS observations, is not critical, line_7: but eastern elongation is specified here because the Earth-facing side at that line_8: longitude is brighter. ! question: 6 section: 1 line_1: Since all the Galilean satellites are very nearly the same size, Ganymede is an line_2: ideal calibrator for the Io and Europa observations. The complications of line_3: spherical aberration make the Ganymede spectra very important as a reference line_4: when searching for very weak absorption features on the other two satellites. ! question: 7 section: 1 line_1: Io and Europa spectra will be reduced to albedos using HST Ganymede spectra. line_2: Absorption features will be correlated with laboratory spectra of SO_2 line_3: obtained at essentially the same resolution as the ST data. Because of the line_4: thinness of the atmosphere of Io, it is probable that sophisticated radiative line_5: transfer techniques will not be required, but that will only be determined line_6: after the initial reduction of the data. ! question: 10 section: 1 line_1: We have a dedicated SUN 4/280 computer and workstations, on which SDAS, IRAF line_2: and IDL have been installed, to supplement STScI computing facilities for line_3: data reduction. ! question: 13 section: 1 line_1: FOS spectra of Io and Europa, with both satellites at each orbital elongation, line_2: will be obtained in the range 2210-3290A, to search for SO_2 absorption line_3: features, at resolution 2 A. For Io, these would be traces of gas from volcanic line_4: venting and for Europa, there may be some SO_2 trapped in the surface H_2O ice. line_5: Ganymede spectra will be used to remove solar and instrumental features. ! !end of general form text general_form_address: lname: CALDWELL fname: JOHN mi: J. category: PI inst: YORK UNIVERSITY ! ! end of general_form_address records !
