If a supernova were to line_3: occur in the time frame of interest, it would also be of interest to this line_4: program. The FOS spectra are to be obtained roughly one month after maximum, line_5: which will involve scheduling on a fairly short timescale. The FOS spectra line_6: will permit the carbon abundance (and perhaps the nitrogen and silicon line_7: abundances) in the bulge of M31 to be estimated. The observations will also line_8: allow an estimate of the feasibility of detecting novae in distant galaxies line_9: using the WF/PC and C III 1909 filter (F194W). ! ! end of abstract general_form_proposers: lname: BEAVER fname: EDWARD inst: UC, SAN DIEGO country: USA ! lname: BURBIDGE fname: E.

Three such objects will be chosen for observation with line_5: the stipulation that the FOS spectra should be obtained within 2 weeks of the line_6: discovery. This will require a fast turn-around time (2-3 weeks) for the line_7: scheduling of the FOS observations. line_9: Cycle 2: 203-204 line_11: Cycle 9: 901 ! question: 5 section: 1 line_1: The novae must be observed approximately 4 to 6 weeks after outburst while in a line_2: phase with relatively strong UV emission lines. ! question: 5 section: 2 line_1: The SV prerequisite programs for all FOS line_2: observations in this program are: line_3: Prop ID 2195 FOS Target Acquisition Tests line_4: - All observations line_5: Prop ID 1317 Int./Ext.
