OF ASTRONOMY ! end of coverpage abstract: line_1: This is an imaging study of the center of the Virgo elliptical line_2: galaxy NGC 4472. HST observations by Crane have shown that no line_3: elliptical yet observed has a center without some sort of power line_4: law or cusp. This galaxy appears well resolved from the ground line_5: and therefore offers a test of whether flat cores exist at all. ! ! end of abstract general_form_proposers: lname: KING fname: IVAN title: PROF. mi: R. inst: UNIV.

We are collaborators both on those line_6: programs and on this one. The reason for its submission is that I line_7: have the GTO time available and he does not. There is no line_8: infringement. ! question: 4 section: 0 line_1: High resolving power is essential. ! question: 5 section: 0 line_1: Exposure times are based on known surface brightnesses and line_2: on experience with galaxies already observed by Crane. ! question: 6 section: 1 line_1: No special requests. ! question: 6 section: 2 line_1: It is assumed that PSF's will be available without the need to add line_2: observations to this program to secure them. (Yes, PSF's will line_3: still be needed, on account of the diffraction pattern.) ! question: 7 section: 0 line_1: At Berkeley we have a VMS cluster and a Sun cluster. I have a line_2: Microvax II GPX and a Sun IPC with a gigabyte disk. For software line_3: we have been using Vista, DAOPHOT, and IRAF/STSDAS. Although it is line_4: an unhappy fact that no one has yet arrived at the ideal method of line_5: doing stellar photometry on HST images, I am doing at least as well line_6: as anyone else and am in contact with most of those who are making line_7: efforts in this direction. line_9: My collaborators on the FOC IDT have access to all the resources of line_10: the Institute in general, and of the FOC group in particular. line_11: Crane has all sorts of resources at ESO. ! question: 9 section: 1 line_1: SAO-3121, MORPHOLOGY OF FAINT GALAXIES - PART II line_2: GTO-1277, IMAGING OF M31-GROUP GALAXIES line_3: GTO-1278, SPECTROSCOPY OF THE CENTERS OF M31, M32, AND NGC 205 line_4: GTO-1279, STRUCTURE OF GLOBULAR CLUSTERS line_5: GTO-1280, COLLAPSED CORES OF GLOBULAR CLUSTERS line_6: GTO-1281, THE FAINT POPULATION IN BAADE'S WINDOW line_7: GTO-1282, IMAGING OF HIGH-REDSHIFT FIELD GALAXIES AND CLUSTERS line_8: GTO-3217, (continuation of 1280) line_9: GTO-3218, (continuation of 1279) line_10: GTO-3219, (continuation of 1277) line_11: GTO-3325, (continuation of 1279, 3218) line_12: This program is related to Crane's 1057. ! question: 9 section: 2 line_1: 3121 produced a report that I am told was quite useful to the Cycle line_2: 1 Re-TAC, and also the publication below. line_4: Otherwise all I have gotten up to now is a pair of exposures on the line_5: center of Omega Centauri, which are in the early stages of line_6: reduction; the center of M32 and of the collapsed-core line_7: globular cluster NGC7099, also under reduction. line_9: In Cycle 1 I have put all of 1281 and all of the 1279 exposures on line_10: NGC6624. ! question: 9 section: 3 line_1: "The Current Ability of HST to Reveal Morphological Structure in line_2: Medium-Redshift Galaxies", King, I.R., et al.
