Targets include both low and high line_3: polarization QSOs, Seyfert galaxies of types 1 and 2, BL Lac objects, a line_4: broad-line radio galaxy, and a giant elliptical (M87). Clouds close to the line_5: nucleus in two nearby Seyferts will also be observed. line_6: NOTE: NGC 1068 HAS BEEN DROPPED FROM THIS PROGRAM - FEBRUARY, 1992. ! question: 4 section: 1 line_1: The ST is needed to do spectropolarimetry below 3000A. The ST will also allow line_2: us to do spatially resolved polarimetry in the nuclear regions of NGC 1068 and line_3: 4151. line_4: NOTE: NGC 1068 HAS BEEN DROPPED FROM THIS PROGRAM - FEBRUARY, 1992. ! question: 5 section: 1 line_1: Blazars are so rapidly variable that any observation must be completed within a line_2: few hours. line_3: The SV prerequisite programs for all FOS observations in this program are: line_4: Prop ID 2195 FOS Target Acquisition Tests All observations line_5: Prop ID 1317 Int./Ext.
