abstract:

    line_1:        This proposal has several objectives. First, the imaging data will be used to
    line_2:        determine the precise positions of the centers of the galaxies, to see if the
    line_3:        central region is bright enough to do long slit spectroscopy with the FOC f/48
    line_4:        spectrograph, and finally to study the radial intensity and color profile in
    line_5:        the spectral region between 2200A and 4500A.

  question:        3
    section:       1
    line_1:        UV images of NGC3862 to study the spectral index of the jet will be
    line_2:        obtained with the FOC F220W filter.
    line_3:        New observations of the galaxies NGC4649 and IC1459 will be obtained
    line_4:        in order to study the nuclear light profile and to determine if
    line_5:        it will be possible to obtain spectra of the nuclues with HST.

!

  question:        3
    section:       2
    line_1:        FOC images at f/96 will be used to a) locate precisely the center of several
    line_2:        elliptical galaxies, b) determine if these centers are bright enough for f/48
    line_3:        velocity dispersion measurements c) study the radial profile from 2500A to
    line_4:        4500A and d) perform spectroscopic observations to determine the velocity
    line_5:        dispersion in the central region.

!

  question:        4
    section:       1
    line_1:        The High resolution and the UV sensitivity of the HST FOC combination offer a
    line_2:        truely unique chance opportunity to study the nucleii of nearby galaxies

!

  question:        7
    section:       1
    line_1:
    line_2:        We have developed the reduction and analysis necessary for these data
    line_3:        from our Cycle 0 observations.

  question:        9
    section:       1
    line_1:
    line_2:        1055 Imaging and Spectroscopy of M81
    line_3:        1056 Imaging and Spectroscopy of Spiral Galaxies
    line_4:        1057 Imaging and Spectroscopy of Elliptical Galaxies
    line_5:        1058 Optical Emission from Radio Lobes
    line_6:        1059 Gravitational Lenses
    line_7:        1061 Binary Pulsar PSR1913+16

!

  question:        10
    section:       1
    line_1:        This is a GTO/AUG proposal, and thus the institutional arrangements remain
    line_2:        the same for this as for the GTO science.
