First, the imaging data will be used to line_2: determine the precise positions of the centers of the galaxies, to see if the line_3: central region is bright enough to do long slit spectroscopy with the FOC f/48 line_4: spectrograph, and finally to study the radial intensity and color profile in line_5: the spectral region between 2200A and 4500A. In addition, f/288 data will be line_6: obtained in those few cases where it is warranted by the f/96 exposures. The line_7: spectroscopy will be attempted only in the cases where the central region is line_8: bright enough to determine a good velocity dispersion. ! ! end of abstract general_form_proposers: lname: KING fname: IVAN mi: R. inst: UC, BERKELEY country: USA ! lname: MACKAY fname: CRAIG mi: D. inst: CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY country: UNITED KINGDOM esa: X ! lname: CRANE fname: PHILIPPE inst: EUROPEAN SOUTHERN OBSERVATORY country: GERMANY, WEST ! lname: DISNEY fname: MICHAEL mi: J. inst: UNIVERSITY COLLEGE, CARDIFF country: UNITED KINGDOM esa: X ! ! end of general_form_proposers block general_form_text: question: 3 section: 1 line_1: The following exposures should be scheduled in cycle 1: line_2: NOTE: THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION IS OLD AND OUT OF DATE.
