abstract:

    line_1:        Among the globular clusters that have collapsed cores,
    line_2:        M15 is the strangest.  The sharp rise of velocity dispersion
    line_3:        observed near its center indicates either that it is in the
    line_4:        act of collapse or that it has a black hole at its center.
    line_5:        No one knows how small its true core is.  The high resolution
    line_6:        of the FOC f/96 camera offers the best opportunity to
    line_7:        "resolve" these problems.

  question:        3
    section:       1
    line_1:        On the central region of M15, near-UV imaging,
    line_2:        f/96, F342W, 1500 s
    line_3:        in case of saturation at the center, an additional exposure:
    line_4:        f/96, F342W+F2ND, 300 s
    line_5:        The choice of near-UV is to suppress the bright stars as
    line_6:        much as possible.

  question:        7
    section:       1
    line_1:        To be done on UC Berkeley Astronomy facilities.  Images are
    line_2:        easily copied with FTP, and local software is adequate.

  question:        8
    section:       1
    line_1:        This will enhance other M15 programs, giving higher
    line_2:        resolving power.
