The FOS time resolved mode permits data also to be line_5: obtained as a function of pulse phase for X-ray pulsars, especially in the UV, line_6: where the strong resonance lines are available, and the FOS polarimeter will be line_7: used to examine the orbital phase dependence of polarization in these lines in line_8: the polars, providing new data on the complex structure of the accretion line_9: column. ! ! end of abstract general_form_proposers: lname: BEAVER fname: EDWARD inst: UC, SAN DIEGO country: USA ! lname: BURBIDGE fname: E.

A line_2: 3-step PEAK-UP target acquisition will be used to acquire the object, and then line_3: a series of POLSCANs will be obtained using G130H and G190H, at the specified line_4: phases. ! question: 5 section: 1 line_1: As the target is a binary system, the POLSCANs need to be obtained at discrete line_2: phases in order to properly model the system. There is roughly 1 orbit ( 96 line_3: minutes ) between successive POLSCANs in each of the 2 SEQs. There need to be line_4: 2 discrete SEQs due to the binary period for AM Her of roughly 185 minutes, line_5: which is nearly commensurate with the HST orbital period of 96 minutes. The two line_6: SEQs should be as close in time as possible in order to minimize the random line_7: variability of AM Her. ! question: 7 section: 1 line_1: Data reduction will be performed at the ST ScI, and the analysis will be line_2: performed using FOS IDT computer facilities. ! question: 8 section: 1 line_1: Certain of these systems are known to have unstable periods, but require line_2: observations at certain specific phases. The binary search line_3: times were determined for the faintest mag of each target as line_4: listed in the target list. The BRIGHT parameter was adjust line_5: for the brightess magnitude the object could have. ! question: 10 section: 1 line_1: Data analysis, research assistant support, and funding will be provided under line_2: NASA's FOS GTO contract(s). ! question: 12 section: 1 line_1: Completion of the scientific goals of this program requires the intercomparison line_2: of data on the majority of separate objects. Thus, these scientific goals will line_3: not be fulfilled until at least 80% of the targets have been observed. ! question: 13 section: 1 line_1: Spectra, time-resolved spectra, and polarimetry will be obtained as a function line_2: of orbital period in a variety of low mass X-ray binaries, old novae, and line_3: polars. ! !end of general form text general_form_address: lname: MARGON fname: BRUCE title: PROF. category: PI inst: UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON addr_1: ASTRONOMY DEPARTMENT, FM-20 city: SEATTLE state: WA zip: 98195 country: USA phone: 206-543-0089 ! ! end of general_form_address records fixed_targets: targnum: 9 name_1: AM-HER name_2: GSC-I-3533-1105 descr_1: INTERACTING BINARY WITH MAGNETIC WHITE descr_2: DWARF PRIMARY. pos_1: RA= 18H 16M 13.34S +/-0.01S, pos_2: DEC = +49D 52' 04.1"+/-0.3", pos_3: PLATE-ID=00TB equinox: 2000 fluxnum_1: 1 fluxval_1: V = 12.15 +/- 0.1 ! ! end of fixed targets !
