An object producing ~ line_3: 0.01 cts/diode/sec in the G160M mode will be observed. These data will be line_4: compared with G140L spectra. ! ! end of abstract general_form_proposers: lname: EBBETS fname: D. mi: C. inst: BASG country: USA ! lname: MARAN fname: S. mi: P. inst: NASA/GSFC country: USA ! lname: BRANDT fname: J. mi: C. inst: LASP/UNIV OF COLORADO country: USA ! lname: SAVAGE fname: B. mi: D. inst: UNIV.

Acquire target (detector 1 CsI) line_6: 2. Center in large aperture and map image line_7: 3. Enable anticoincidence rejection line_8: 4. Obtain G140L 5 min integrations at lambda c = 1450, 1455, 1460, 1465, line_9: 1470 and 1475A line_10: 5. Switch to detector 2 and enable doppler compensation line_11: 6. Obtain G160M data as follows: line_12: (a) set carousel for lambda c = 1545A line_13: (b) Obtain 24 5 min integrations line_16: If 3C66A is observed instead of 3C232 increase the wavelengths listed above line_17: 35A. ! question: 4 section: 1 line_1: This program verifies HRS characteristics. HRS operates only with ST. ! question: 5 section: 1 line_1: Test should be run after verifying: line_2: (a) low and intermediate resolution scanning capability (1354,1356) line_3: (b) anticoincidence rejection capability (1453) line_4: (c) doppler compensation capability for intermediate resolution line_5: spectroscopy. (1372) line_8: This is a limiting magnitude test. It must be run during times of low line_9: radiation and scattered light background (total background < .002 cts/diode/sec line_10: with detector 2). Observations should not occur during an SAA passage. line_13: The primary target is 3C232 (PKS 0955+326). The alternate target PKS 0219+428 line_14: (3C66A) is much less desirable. line_16: SV Minimum Plan: ALL line_17: SV Delta Plan: NONE line_18: Guiding Tolerance: 0.025 arc seconds line_20: It would be extremely helpful if 2 measurements of HRS Dark Count Monitor, line_21: test 1408 (1 for D1 and 1 for D2) could be scheduled in conjunction with line_22: this Limiting Magnitude Test. ! question: 7 section: 1 line_1: Data will be reduced at Univ. of Wisconsin or at HRS GSFC reduction facility. line_2: The G160M data will be examined to remove measurements contaminated by high line_3: background levels. The remaining data will be averaged to produce a spectrum line_4: covering the region 1528 to 1562A. This spectrum will be compared to the G140L line_5: data. The G140L data should be of high quality since the expected count rate line_6: is 0.2 cts/diode/sec. The G160M data will be near the limit of HRS since the line_7: expected count rate is 0.006 cts/diode/sec. The comparison will be very line_8: informative. ! !end of general form text general_form_address: lname: MARAN fname: STEPHEN inst: GSFC addr_1: CODE 680 city: GREENBELT state: MD zip: 20771 country: USA phone: 301-344-8607 ! lname: CARPENTER fname: KENNETH inst: NASA/GSFC addr_1: CODE 680 city: GREENBELT state: MD zip: 20771 country: USA phone: 301-286-3453 ! lname: EBBETS fname: DENNIS category: CON inst: BALL AEROSPACE SYS.
