abstract:

    line_1:        FOC images of the faint (U=23) optical knots in the radio
    line_2:        galaxy 3C66B will help assess the ability of the FOC to
    line_3:        determine accurate spatial and photometric information
    line_4:        at near uv and visible wavelengths for a source whose
    line_5:        structure is known from VLA observations. The data will
    line_6:        also indicate the quality with which the camera can
    line_7:        determine faint galaxy morphology. Scientifically the
    line_8:        observations will be most interesting since for the
    line_9:        first time we will achieve a resolution actually
    line_10:       better than the VLA data, and high spatial resolution
    line_11:       optical data on synchrotron jets is currently
    line_12:       non-existent. We predict a total of about 4000counts
    line_13:       per knot. Accurate target acquisition capability is
    line_14:       an essential prerequisite. Accurate psf images through
    line_15:       target filters are essential.
