The GTO program for the globular cluster systems line_4: involves cWF/PC or FOC images to locate candidates for cluster X-ray sources line_5: (selection based on UV-excess in multicolor HST images), followed by confirming line_6: FOS spectroscopy. Even 1 or 2 new close binaries identified line_7: through this program will be extremely important, as these line_8: systems are thought to dominate the kinetic energy budget of line_9: globular clusters, yet virtually none are currently known. line_10: This program is for spectroscopic follow-up of AC211 in NGC7078 line_11: (M15). ! ! end of abstract general_form_proposers: lname: MARGON fname: BRUCE inst: UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON country: USA ! lname: HARMS fname: RICHARD title: PI mi: J. inst: APPLIED RESEARCH CORPORATION country: USA ! lname: BOHLIN fname: RALPH inst: SPACE TELESCOPE SCIENCE INSTITUTE country: USA ! lname: ANGEL fname: J.

An EARLY ACQ WFPC image obtained earlier line_3: in another cycle 3 proposal) will be used to select an line_4: OFFSET star for FOS TA in this proposal. In this proposal, line_5: FOS TA of OFFSET star will be followed by blind offset to line_6: target AC211. FOS exposure times and position will be updated line_7: based on EARLY-ACQ WFPC image. ! question: 5 section: 1 line_1: This FOS proposal must occur after related cycle 3 proposal line_2: in which WFPC EARLY ACQ is obtained (EARLY ACQ in cycle 3 line_3: proposal entitled BINARIES IN GLOBULAR CLUSTER M15 IMAGE line_4: (FOS 37) AUGMENTATION: CYCLE 3 - HIGH ). ! question: 7 section: 1 line_1: Data reduction will be performed at the ST ScI, and the analysis will be line_2: performed using FOS IDT computer facilities. ! question: 8 section: 1 line_1: The star for spectroscopy will appear in the WFPC image line_2: obtained as an early-acq. If identical guide stars happen to be line_3: available for both observations, FOS acquisition could be line_4: significantly faster and more reliable. If not, we will offset from line_5: an arbitrary anonymous bright star in field, selected from the line_6: WFPC image. ! question: 10 section: 1 line_1: Data analysis, research assistant support, and funding will be provided under line_2: NASA's FOS GTO contract(s). The FOS IDT support includes a total of roughly line_3: 30 Ph.D. astronomers and graduate students at 5 different institutions. At line_4: each institution one or more workstations (typically Sparc 2's or the line_5: equivalent), plus one or more Microvaxes (or equivalent) are essentially line_6: devoted to processing of HST data. ! !end of general form text general_form_address: lname: MARGON fname: BRUCE category: PI inst: UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON addr_1: ASTRONOMY DEPARTMENT, FM-20 city: SEATTLE state: WA zip: 98195 country: USA phone: 206 543-0089 telex: 4740096 ! ! end of general_form_address records fixed_targets: targnum: 1 name_1: NGC7078-OFFSET descr_1: C,201,A,140 pos_1: RA =21H 27M 33.1S+/-2.0S, pos_2: DEC=+11D 56' 51.0"+/-30" equinox: 1950 comment_1: OFFSET STAR. comment_2: POSITION WILL BE UPDATED ONCE comment_4: OBJECY IS FOUND ON EARLY-ACQ comment_5: WF/PC IMAGE OBTAINED IN comment_6: PRIOR CYCLE 3 PROPOSAL. fluxnum_1: 1 fluxval_1: V = 15 +/- 3 ! targnum: 2 name_1: NGC7078-STAR name_2: AC211 descr_1: C,201,A,165 pos_1: RA-OFF = 0S +/- 2.0S, pos_2: DEC-OFF = 0" +/- 30", pos_3: FROM 1 equinox: 1950 acqpr_1: COMP comment_2: POSITION WILL BE UPDATED ONCE comment_4: OBJECT IS FOUND ON EARLY-ACQ comment_5: WF/PC IMAGE OBTAINED IN comment_6: PRIOR CYCLE 3 PROPOSAL. fluxnum_1: 1 fluxval_1: V = 15.7 +/- 1 ! ! end of fixed targets !
