abstract:

    line_1:        The FOS GTO program includes a systematic study of degenerate stars
    line_2:        in binary systems, both in the field and in globular clusters, plus a handful
    line_3:        of related objects. The GTO program for the globular cluster systems
    line_4:        involves WF/PC or FOC images to locate candidates for cluster X-ray sources
    line_5:        (selection based on UV-excess in multicolor HST images), followed by confirming
    line_6:        FOS spectroscopy. Even 1 or 2 new close binaries identified
    line_7:        through this program will be extremely important, as these
    line_8:        systems are thought to dominate the kinetic energy budget of
    line_9:        globular clusters, yet virtually none are currently known.
    line_10:       This program is for spectroscopic follow-up of AC211 in NGC7078
    line_11:       (M15); a WFPC image is also obtained to aid FOS TA.

  question:        2
    section:       1
    line_1:

  question:        3
    section:       1
    line_1:        FOS spectra of a globular cluster interacting binary star
    line_2:        will be obtained. An early-acq WFPC image is used to aid in
    line_3:        FOS TA.

!

  question:        4
    section:       0
    line_1:        For this program, it is the high angular resolution of the
    line_2:        HST which is most essential, although the UV capability is
    line_3:        also exploited. This proposal is for the follow-up FOS
    line_4:        spectroscopy of the globular cluster interacting binary AC211.

!

  question:        5
    section:       1
    line_1:        The WFPC exposure MUST be obtained AFTER the UV flood.

!

  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.

!

  question:        8
    section:       1
    line_1:        The star for spectroscopy will appear in the WFPC image
    line_2:        obtained as an early-acq. If identical guide stars happen to be
    line_3:        available for both observations, FOS acquisition could be
    line_4:        significantly faster and more reliable. If not, we will offset from
    line_5:        an arbitrary anonymous bright star in field, selected from the
    line_6:        WFPC image.

!

  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:        1053, 3002, 3003, 3198, 3282 (Binaries in Globular Clusters);
    line_5:        Among these related programs, data have been taken for SAO
    line_6:        observations of M14 (proposals 3002 and 3003), and NGC6712 (proposal
    line_7:        1053). One relevant refereed paper has been published in ApJ Let.

!

  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 will be taken of the interacting binary star AC211, in the
    line_2:        globular cluster NGC7078 (M15).
