abstract:

    line_1:        WF/PC narrow band images of M87 will be used to isolate emission line regions
    line_2:        near the nucleus and jet. FOS spectra of these clouds will be used to i) map
    line_3:        the velocity field near the nucleus, ii) understand physical conditions and
    line_4:        ionization mechanisms in these clouds, and iii) measure chemical composition of
    line_5:        the clouds. FOS spectra of the stellar nucleus and synchotron knots in the
    line_6:        jet will be used to establish long-base-line spectral indices and to look for
    line_7:        spectral features. Long exposure ultraviolet spectra of the nucleus and jet
    line_8:        will be used to look for absorption lines from M87's hot corona.

    line_1:        The SV prerequisite programs for all FOS
    line_2:        observations in this program are:
    line_3:        Prop ID 2195 FOS Target Acquisition Tests
    line_4:        - All observations
    line_5:        Prop ID 1317 Int./Ext. Wavelength Offsets

    line_7:        Prop ID 1318 Spectral Flat Fields
    line_8:        - 1st target
    line_9:        Prop ID 1320 Absolute Spectrophotometry
    line_10:       - 1st visit of bright targets
    line_11:       All WF/PC imaging with a center wavelength
    line_12:       blueward of 5000 Angstroms requires UV flood

  question:        12
    section:       1
    line_1:        This is an integrated scientific program investigating the jet and nucleus
    line_2:        of M87, and will not be complete until 80% of the observations have been
    line_3:        obtained. Data release should not begin until 1 year after the 80% completion
    line_4:        point.

  question:        13
    section:       1
    line_1:        WF/PC narrow band images and FOS spectra will be used to isolate emission
    line_2:        line regions, measure their velocities, and establish physical conditions and
    line_3:        chemical compositions in the gas. FOS spectra of the nucleus and jet will
    line_4:        establish their spectral energy distributions from the UV to the optical. Long
    line_5:        exposure FOS UV spectra of the nucleus and jet will be used to search for
    line_6:        absorption lines from M87's hot corona.
