abstract:

    line_1:        FOS spectra will be used to measure the spectral index (especially in the
    line_2:        UV) of the nonthermal pulsar radiation, to verify synchrotron mechanism and
    line_3:        search for spectral breaks, to watch variations through the pulse phase, and to
    line_4:        examine the variation of polarization with wavelength in the Crab. Absorption
    line_5:        may be seen due to intervening gas, whose abundance and physical state could
    line_6:        then be probed.
