abstract:

    line_1:        The FOS will be used with small apertures to map the stellar
    line_2:        velocity dispersion and rotation in a grid
    line_3:        covering the central 1" of NGC4472.
    line_4:        The velocity disperions and rotation curves will be
    line_5:        used to model the nuclear dynamics and to measure the nuclear
    line_6:        M/L.  Line strengths will be used to measure changes in the
    line_7:        stellar populations in the central 1".  FOS spectra of any
    line_8:        emission-line clouds within the nuclear region will be used to
    line_9:        establish their physical characteristics, ionization
    line_10:       mechanisms, and dynamics.

  question:        3
    section:       1
    line_1:        FOS observations of NGC 4472 will consist of spectra using grating
    line_2:        G570H.  We will use the 0.3" aperture on the nucleus and at
    line_3:        positions of +/-0.25" along the major and minor axes.  Additional
    line_4:        spectra through the 0.5" aperture using the same grating will be
    line_5:        obtained at positions of +/-0.50" along the major and minor axes.
    line_6:        Acquisition will be done using a binary search on a nearby star
    line_7:        identified in a WFC image, followed by two small peak-ups on the
    line_8:        the nucleus of NGC 4472.  We will use spectra of the K star F193
    line_9:        obtained with the same grating and aperture during Cycle 2
    line_10:       observations as a template star in Fourier quotient deconvolutions.
    line_11:       Internal wavelength calibrations will be obtained through the same
    line_12:       grating and aperture on each of the NGC 4472 exposures.

!

  question:        4
    section:       1
    line_1:        NGC 4472 has been observed extensively from the ground
    line_2:        both photometrically and spectroscopically.  Our dispersion
    line_3:        measurements at 0.5" will be used to tie in to ground-based
    line_4:        measurements at larger radii.

!

  question:        5
    section:       1
    line_1:        The observations of the nuclear region of NGC 4472 are arranged
    line_2:        on a finely spaced (0.25") rectangular grid along the major and minor
    line_3:        axes.  To ensure the precise relative registration of the pointing
    line_4:        positions in the grid, we wish to perform only one target acquisition
    line_5:        and use only small angle maneuvers to obtain the spectra at each of
    line_6:        the 9 ensuing points in the grid.  The requisite observations have
    line_7:        been indicated with GROUP NO GAP in the exposure log sheet.

!

  question:        6
    section:       1
    line_1:        Precise wavelength calibrations are required to study the kinematics of
    line_2:        the gas and stars in the nucleus of NGC 4472.  Internal WAVE
    line_3:        calibrations are required for observations using grating G570H as
    line_4:        indicated in the exposure log.  These calibration exposures must be
    line_5:        obtained immediately following the science exposures with no
    line_6:        intervening motion of the FOS filter/grating wheel or apertures.

!

  question:        7
    section:       1
    line_1:        The FOS spectra will be processed using the latest available
    line_2:        calibration data to transform the raw count data into flux-calibrated,
    line_3:        wavelength-calibrated images. Velocities and dispersions for the
    line_4:        NGC 4472 spectra will be obtained using Fourier quotient routines
    line_5:        operating in IRAF based on the algorithms outlined by
    line_6:        Sargent et al (1977).  In addition, we will test more complex
    line_7:        dynamical models for NGC 4472 by folding spectra of our template star
    line_8:        through the dynamical model and the point response of HST and
    line_9:        integrating the resulting spectra over the FOS apertures
    line_10:       (eg, Dressler & Richstone 1988; Kormendy 1988).  This will allow us to
    line_11:       test the validity of our conclusions in the face of complications due
    line_12:       to the aberrated images produced by the primary mirror.

!

  question:        8
    section:       1
    line_1:        PC and WFC images of NGC 4472 (when available) will be measured for
    line_2:        precise target coordinates, so that the FOS observations can be done
    line_3:        as blind offsets from a nearby isolated star.
    line_5:        While not officially listed as co-investigators, the following
    line_6:        scientists are actively involved in research with the FOS GTO team and
    line_7:        are expected to contribute significantly to its scientific output:
    line_8:        W. P. Blair, S. Caganoff, G. A. Kriss, A. Uomoto (JHU);
    line_9:        R. Antonucci (UCSB); L. Armus (Cal Tech); I. Evans, A. Kinney (STScI);
    line_10:       L. Dressel (ARC); R. Allen, P. Smith (U. Arizona);
    line_11:       S. Anderson (U. Washington); R. Cohen, R. Hier, V. Junkarrinen,
    line_12:       E. Rosenblatt (UCSD).

!

  question:        9
    section:       1
    line_1:        Since there are 29 separate FOS IDT GTO programs, only those related
    line_2:        to the current proposal are listed here.
    line_4:        1040 - Velocity Dispersions in the Nuclei of Giant Ellipticals
    line_5:        1041, 3191, 3276 - The Nucleus of Normal and Starburst Galaxies
    line_6:        1044, 3193, 3277 - Stellar and Gas Dynamics in Normal Galaxies

!

  question:        10
    section:       1
    line_1:        All resources for these programs are provided by NASA through the
    line_2:        FOS IDT contract NAS 5-29293.
