abstract:

    line_1:        It is proposed to observe star formation regions in several nearby spiral and
    line_2:        irregular galaxies (present candidates being M33, IC1613 and M101).
    line_3:        Observations with the FOC at f/96 through three filters, including a far UV
    line_4:        filter, will overcome confusion problems and provide a statistics for hot stars
    line_5:        yielding the luminosity function and the upper initial mass function.
    line_6:        Observations with the far UV objective prism will allow to determine the far UV
    line_7:        extinction law, and may be, the hydrogen column density and, hence, the gas to
    line_8:        dust ratio. These observations will provide for the first time a complete
    line_9:        study of the young massive stellar population and of the interstellar dust
    line_10:       extinction outside our Galaxy.

  question:        3
    section:       1
    line_1:        1) 6 positions in M33 and IC1613
    line_2:        f/96, ID-zoom, 1800s (F165W, F320W, F430W)
    line_3:        Note: a) ID-zoom is to increase the FOV (F320W is not available at f/48)
    line_4:        b) the first exposure is duplicated with neutral density filter for
    line_5:        calibration purpose.
    line_7:        2) 1 position in outer part of NGC5457 (M101)
    line_8:        f/48, 2900s (F195W), 2500s (F430W)
    line_10:       3) 6 positions in M33 and IC1613
    line_11:       f/96, objective prism in far UV, 1800s broad constraints on orientation to
    line_12:       avoid crowding by bright stars.

  question:        4
    section:       1
    line_1:        The study of young stellar populations in nearby galaxies (for instance M33, (m
    line_2:        - M)_0 = 23.8) requires high angular resolution to resolve stars down to about
    line_3:        M_V = -1 in crowded fields and UV response to select and classify the hot
    line_4:        stars. These two characteristics are only provided by the FOC.

  question:        7
    section:       1
    line_1:        To be done at LAS VAX.

  question:        10
    section:       1
