These absorption lines cannot be measured in the optical. ! question: 7 section: 1 line_1: These observations will be reduced using the standard spectroscopy line_2: reduction software available for FOS data. Calibration line_3: will be done using the results of SV observations. line_13: The absorption features in QSO spectra will be measured using existing line_14: software that has been used for optical data and the early HST line_15: spectra. ! question: 9 section: 1 line_1: PI has received data from a number of line_2: GTO programs, SAT, and ERO programs. Related line_3: programs which have had observations are as line_4: follows: line_5: 1026 - ``UV Spectra of Low-Redshift-QSOs'': related, line_6: 1027 - ``UV Spectra of QSOs with z> 3.1'': not related, line_7: 1190 - ``FUV Emission LIne Profiles of W Serpentis line_8: Binaries'': not related line_11: Observations of UM 675 have shown line_12: that any He I Gunn--Peterson effect is small, that line_13: He I absorption lines are not strong, that line_14: predictions of the ``Lyman valley'' may be line_15: correct, and that low redshift Ly-alpha is more line_16: prevalent than expected. Observations of low line_17: redshift QSOs (including 3C 273) have shown even line_18: more clearly that Ly-alpha absorption occurs in line_19: greater numbers than expected, as well as showing line_20: emission--line profile differences more clearly line_21: than from earlier data. Unexpectedly, Ly-alpha line_22: is {\it narrower} than H-alpha. line_23: ``Far--Ultraviolet Spectroscopy of the Quasar UM ! question: 9 section: 2 line_1: 675 with the Faint Object Spectrograph on the line_2: Hubble Space Telescope'', E.A.Beaver, line_3: E.M.Burbidge, R.D.Cohen, V.T.Junkkarinen, line_4: R.W.Lyons, E.I.Rosenblatt, G.F.Hartig, B.Margon, line_5: and A.F.Davidsen, {\it Ap.J.(Lett.)}, {\bf 377}, line_6: L1, 1991. line_7: ``First Results from the GHRS: UV Spectra of a line_8: Starburst Knot in NGCC 1068'', Hutchings, J.B., line_9: Bruhweiler, G.C., Boggess, A., Heap, S.R., Ebbets, line_10: D.C., Beaver, E., Rosenblatt, E., Truonmg, K.Q., line_11: Perez, M., and Westmacott, R., 1991, APJ line_12: (Letters), 377, 1991. ! question: 10 section: 1 line_1: The majority of the resources required for this project other than the line_2: normal facilities of a university (librarys, offices, etc.) were line_3: supplied by NASA to the members of the GHRS IDT for these projects. line_4: These include all the computing facilities required for the completion line_5: of data reduction and analysis. line_6: Optical and IR ground--based observing facilities and support are line_7: provided by the University of California. ! !end of general form text general_form_address: lname: BURBIDGE fname: E.
