We plan to use the Fine Guidance Sensors to measure the line_4: apparent orbits of the binaries. Since the distance to the region is line_5: known the apparent orbits will yield the total masses of the binaries. line_6: This is a continuation proposal for our program approved for Cycle 2 line_7: and recommended for a total duration of 3 years. Since no data have line_8: been obtained yet for this program, we summarize our goals and plans line_9: in the present continuation proposal. Also, we take the opportunity line_10: to augment the original proposal to include suitable close multiple line_11: systems discovered in the past year. ! ! end of abstract general_form_proposers: lname: SIMON fname: MICHAL title: PI inst: SUNY STONY BROOK country: USA esa: N ! lname: TAFF fname: LAURENCE mi: G. inst: STSCI country: USA esa: N ! ! end of general_form_proposers block general_form_text: question: 3 section: 1 line_1: This program requires the FGS Interferometers operating in Transfer line_2: Function Mode. We plan to use the clear filter to take advantage line_3: of the red spectra of the stars and the S20 response of the FGS line_4: photomultipliers and to use the 2/3 aperture stop to achieve the line_5: best signalt-to-noise ratio. line_6: For binary orbit determination we require that a given system be line_7: observed twice per Cycle, at a spacing of 3 to 6 months. The line_8: hierarchical triple HV Tau will require two observations: one of line_9: the close components and the second with the full 5 X 5 arc sec line_10: aperture of the close components relative to the third component. line_11: In Cycle 2 we will observe the systems in the list originally line_12: proposed: DF, DI, FF, HQ, HV, and GN Tau. At this line_13: writing, we still await these observations. line_14: In Cycles 3 we will DELETE from the original target list those line_15: systems found by Cycle 2 observations to be unsuitable for orbit line_16: determination and to REPLACE them by ZZ Tau, HK Tau G2, Elias 12, line_17: and SVS 1849. ! question: 4 section: 1 line_1: The results of our ground-based survey (refs. 4 and 7) by lunar line_2: occultations and imaging provide the source list for this program. line_3: Lunar occultations of a given object occur infrequently so orbit line_4: determination by ground-based occultation observations is not line_5: practical. Moreover, the components of the binaries we propose line_6: for FGS observation are too close to be resolvable by IR speckle line_7: interferometry, and too close and too faint to be observed by line_8: visible light speckle interferometry. The systems considered here line_9: are simply too faint for the present generation of ground-based line_10: Michelson interferometers operating in the visible and IR. ! question: 7 section: 1 line_1: Analysis of the FGS data to determine binary star parameters line_2: requires modeling the the observed transfer function. Extraction line_3: of the data from the AEDP tapes and subsequent use of the line_4: Transfer Fuction analysis software is complex. It appears line_5: sensible to keep this effort at the STScI rather than to try to line_6: export the software to Stony Brook. The Co-I will train an SDA at line_7: the STScI (supported in part with funds requested and approved in line_8: Phase 2 of Cycle 2) in the use of the existing prototype line_9: extraction and analysis code. The SDA will perform data quality line_10: asessment as our observations are made. The SDA, Co-I, and PI line_11: will do the preliminary analysis of the detectability of the line_12: binary components and separation to refine our observing plans for line_13: future Cycles. Orbit determination and astrophysical analysis line_14: will be done at Stony Brook with the help of a graduate student. line_15: An astrometry data reduction pipeline within STSDAS does not line_16: exist. The code exists, but a snag in the changeover into line_17: has prevented its implementation. Hence, all FGS data has to be line_18: reduced with the direct assistance of a member of the FGS line_19: Instrument Team or the Space Telescope Astrometry Team (which line_20: has its own, separate, data reduction code). The Co-I is the FGS line_21: Instrument Scientist, so this is not problem. We will train the line_22: SDA approved in our Phase 2 submission for Cycle 2. ! question: 9 section: 1 line_1: MS (PI) and LGT (Co-I) are the investigators for Program No. line_2: 3842, "Masses of Pre-Main sequence Stars", assigned time for line_3: Cycle 2 and approved for 3 years. The present proposal is a line_4: continuation for this program. No data has been obtained yet. line_5: LGT participated in the data reduction of SAO observations 3004 line_6: and was a Co-I on the engineering proposal 3368. ! question: 10 section: 1 line_1: The SUNY SB Astronomy Group maintains a cluster of VMS and Ultrix line_2: workstations that operate the usual arsenal of astronomical line_3: software. MS draws on the expertise of Frederick Walter (a member line_4: of the GHRS team) for HST-related advice and Deane Peterson for line_5: advice pertaining to binary star analysis. MS has regularly guided line_6: PhD students and plans to involve a graduate student in this line_7: work. LGT has full access to the software required for working line_8: with FGS data. ST provides support of Taff's research time and line_9: computing needs. ! !end of general form text general_form_address: lname: SIMON fname: MICHAL category: PI inst: SUNY Stony Brook addr_1: ASTRONOMY PROGRAM addr_2: DEPT.
