abstract:

    line_1:        Three main scientific goals are to determine the emission-line properties
    line_2:        in the UV of low-z QSOs, to look for L alpha -forest absorption shortward of
    line_3:        L alpha emission to examine evolutionary effects, and to observe L alpha
    line_4:        absorption in QSOs which have known metallic-line narrow absorption-line
    line_5:        systems at z(absorption) << z(emission). There are objects of special interest
    line_6:        included in the sample (e.g. 1548 + 114 A, B).

  question:        3
    section:       1
    line_1:        This topic contains 12 objects which will be observed with G130H, G190H,
    line_2:        G270H and the prism of the FOS. S/N will be 15-20 allowing us to measure
    line_3:        emission as well as absorption lines. One additional object will be observed
    line_4:        only with G160L, and one will be observed with G400H because the spatial
    line_5:        resolution of the ST is required.
    line_6:        Cycle 0: Exposure 14-14.5, 41-45
    line_8:        Cycle 1: 11, 13.0-13.6, 15, 16, 18.5-18.9, 19, 33.0-33.6, 32
    line_9:        Cycle 2: Exposure 12, 17, 20, 27, 27.5, 28, 31
    line_10:       Cycle 3: Exposure 11.5

  question:        4
    section:       1
    line_1:        We need UV spectroscopy from the atmospheric cut-off to rest Lyman alpha.

!

  question:        5
    section:       1
    line_1:        The SV prerequisite programs for all FOS observations in this program are:
    line_2:        Prop ID 2195 FOS Target Acquisition Tests All observations
    line_3:        Prop ID 1317 Int./Ext. Wavelength Offsets 1st target
    line_4:        Prop ID 1318 Spectral Flat Fields 1st target
    line_5:        Prop ID 1320 Absolute Spectrophotometry 1st visit of bright targets

!

  question:        8
    section:       1
    line_1:        We will schedule nearby ground-based observations at Lick Observatory if
    line_2:        we are given enough lead time.

!

  question:        12
    section:       1
    line_1:        This program is designed to tackle a carefully chosen statistical sample
    line_2:        of objects, and, while some interesting results may emerge from study of single
    line_3:        members of the sample, the project will not be complete until some 80% of the
    line_4:        data has been obtained and analyzed.

!

  question:        13
    section:       1
    line_1:        We will observe a sample of 12 QSOs with the high resolution gratings on
    line_2:        the FOS to determine the evolution of Lyman alpha absorption below z = 1.6, and
    line_3:        to make a statistical study of the emission properties of low-z quasars with
    line_4:        much better S/N than is possible with IUE. We will also study the differences
    line_5:        in the absorption along two closely spaced paths.
