FOS line_2: spectra of the Crab will be used to measure the spectral index (especially line_3: UV) of the nonthermal pulsar radiation, to verify synchrotron mechanism and line_4: search for spectral breaks. Absorption may be seen due to intervening gas, line_5: whose abundance and physical state could then be probed. ! ! end of abstract general_form_proposers: lname: MARGON fname: BRUCE inst: UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON country: USA ! lname: HARMS fname: RICHARD title: PI mi: J. inst: APPLIED RESEARCH CORPORATION country: USA ! lname: BOHLIN fname: RALPH inst: SPACE TELESCOPE SCIENCE INSTITUTE country: USA ! lname: ANGEL fname: J.

Based on the flux and spectrum in the UV line_4: determined from the initial spectrum, GTO will SELECT one of line_5: four COND IF gratings for an additional follow-up spectrum. ! question: 7 section: 1 line_1: Data reduction will be performed at the ST ScI, and the analysis will be line_2: performed using FOS IDT computer facilities. The EF Eri program involves line_3: analysis of FOS spectropolarimetry. The FOS IDT, of course, has extensive line_4: practical experience in the use of STSDAS (and other IRAF-related) software line_5: to reduce and analyze all the various types of FOS data. ! question: 8 section: 1 line_1: ! question: 9 section: 0 line_1: Partial data from about a dozen different FOS/GTO programs (and many line_2: OV and SV proposals) have been obtained to date. This proposal includes line_3: augmentation time related to the following FOS/GTO and SAO proposals line_4: 1051, 3202, and 3280 (Mass Exchange Binaries). ! question: 10 section: 1 line_1: Data analysis, research assistant support, and funding will be provided under line_2: NASA's FOS GTO contract(s). The FOS IDT support includes a total of roughly line_3: 30 Ph.D. astronomers and graduate students at 5 different institutions. At line_4: each institution one or more workstations (typically Sparc 2's or the line_5: equivalent), plus one or more Microvaxes (or equivalent) are essentially line_6: devoted to processing of HST data. ! question: 13 section: 1 line_1: FOS spectra of the Crab pulsar will be obtained. ! !end of general form text general_form_address: lname: MARGON fname: BRUCE category: PI inst: UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON addr_1: ASTRONOMY DEPARTMENT, FM-20 city: SEATTLE state: WA zip: 98195 country: USA phone: 206 543-0089 telex: 4740096 ! ! end of general_form_address records fixed_targets: targnum: 1 name_1: CRAB-PULSAR name_2: NP0531 descr_1: A,160 pos_1: RA=05H31M 31.41S+/-0.01S, pos_2: DEC=+21D 58' 54.4"+/-0.1" equinox: 1950 acqpr_1: BKG comment_1: PULSAR AT CENTER OF CRAB NEBULA. fluxnum_1: 1 fluxval_1: V = 16.0 +/- 0.4 ! ! end of fixed targets !
