abstract:

    line_1:        We will observe Lyman-alpha and CIII] in the QSO OX 169,
    line_2:        whose Balmer lines show a feature which is either due to self absorption or
    line_3:        narrow-line emission. These observations will resolve the issue and may provide
    line_4:        unique information about QSO broad-line clouds.

  question:        3
    section:       1
    line_1:        We will use the HRS in low resolution mode to observe Lyman-alpha, and at Z =
    line_2:        0.213. CIII] will be observed at medium resolution.
    line_3:        Cycle 0: Low dispersion GHRS and FOS observations.
    line_4:        Cycle 1: High Dispersion GHRS observation.

  question:        4
    section:       1
    line_1:        To our knowledge OX 169 is the only QSO which shows such alleged
    line_2:        self-absorption. UV observations are required for observing Lyman-alpha and
    line_3:        CIII]. Observations have been attempted with IUE, however, the spectral shape
    line_4:        and faintness of the object have precluded obtaining data of sufficient
    line_5:        quality.

!

  question:        6
    section:       1
    line_1:        Individual wavelength calibrations are required to reduce
    line_2:        the errors for intercomparison of absorption line profiles
    line_3:        between different grating settings and between HRS and
    line_4:        ground based data.

!

  question:        7
    section:       1
    line_1:        Data will be reduced and analyzed on UCSD VAX computers.

!

  question:        8
    section:       1
    line_1:        Optical emission lines will be observed nearly simultaneously at Lick
    line_2:        Observatory.

!

  question:        10
    section:       1
    line_1:        UCSD will supply computer facilities and material for ground based
    line_2:        observations.

!

  question:        13
    section:       1
    line_1:        High resolution observations of UV emission lines will be used to determine the
    line_2:        cause of the apparent absorption in the Balmer lines of OX 169.
