abstract:

    line_1:        This proposal has several objectives. First, the imaging data will be used to
    line_2:        determine the precise positions of the centers of the galaxies, to see if the
    line_3:        central region is bright enough to do long slit spectroscopy with the FOC f/48
    line_4:        spectrograph, and finally to study the radial intensity  and color profile in
    line_5:        the spectral region between 2200A and 4500A. In addition, f/288 data will be
    line_6:        obtained in those few cases where it is warranted by the f/96 exposures. The
    line_7:        spectroscopy will be attempted only in the cases where the central region is
    line_8:        bright enough to determine a good velocity dispersion.

  question:        3
    section:       1
    line_1:        Two images are taken of each galaxy with single exposures in each of F342W and
    line_2:        F502M, with both exposures being grouped together with a GROUP NO GAP special
    line_3:        requirement. There may be some concern as to whether Neutral Density filters
    line_4:        are needed in some cases.

!

  question:        12
    section:       1
    line_1:        64% of the observing time for this project is to be charged to P. Crane's
    line_2:        guaranteed time.
    line_4:        36% of the observing time for this project is to be charged to I.R. King's
    line_5:        guaranteed time.
    line_7:        The observing sequences may have to be modified to include neutral density
    line_8:        filters depending on the initial exposures.

!

  question:        13
    section:       1
    line_1:        FOC images at f/96 will be used to a) locate precisely the center of several
    line_2:        elliptical galaxies, b) determine if these centers are bright enough for f/48
    line_3:        velocity dispersion measurements c) study the radial profile from 2500A to
    line_4:        4500A and d) perform spectroscopic observations to determine the velocity
    line_5:        dispersion in the central region.
