abstract:

    line_1:        A survey of the UV spectra of 7 high redshift Broad Absorption Line Quasars
    line_2:        (BALQSOs) will be carried out with the prism and low dispersion mode of FOS.
    line_3:        Depending upon the flux levels and the features detected, one or two of these
    line_4:        objects will be studied further at the R=1200 resolution mode.

  question:        2
    section:       1
    line_1:        The ionization structure and chemical composition of the broad absorption
    line_2:        clouds in some QSOs are very poorly understood. Our goal is to understand the
    line_3:        ionization of these clouds (and thus eventually their composition) by combining
    line_4:        ST UV observations with ground-based observations and study several ionization
    line_5:        stages of several elements. In addition, we will measure, or set limits on,
    line_6:        the ionizing radiation at much higher energies than is currently possible from
    line_7:        the ground.

  question:        3
    section:       1
    line_1:        Low resolution FOS observations of 7 BALQSOs will be obtained. These, together
    line_2:        with an 8th for which similar observations are planned by the FOS team, will be
    line_3:        examined in order to determine whether one or two of these should be followed
    line_4:        up at the R=1200 FOS resolution; if there is sufficient flux these R=1200
    line_5:        observations will be made.
    line_7:        Cycle 1 Exposures qqqq

!

  question:        4
    section:       1
    line_1:        The spectral region of interest cannot be observed from the ground and these
    line_2:        objects are too faint to observe with IUE.

!

  question:        7
    section:       1
    line_1:        Data reduction and subsequent analysis will be carried out using the facilities
    line_2:        of Mount Wilson and Las Campanas Obs. and the Space Telescope Science
    line_3:        Institute (by D. Turnshek).

!

  question:        10
    section:       1
    line_1:        The reduction and analysis facilities of both Mount Wilson and Las Campanas Obs.
    line_2:        and the Space Telescope Science Institute will support this project. Some
    line_3:        additional support for peripheral equipment and manpower is anticipated through
    line_4:        contract to the PI through NASA-GTO contracts.

  question:        13
    section:       1
    line_1:        A survey of the UV spectra of 7 high redshift Broad Absorption Line Quasars
    line_2:        will be carried out with the low dispersion mode of FOS. Depending
    line_3:        upon the flux levels and the features detected, one or two of these objects
    line_4:        will be studied further at the R=1200 resolution mode.
