abstract:

    line_1:        Scientific goals are to determine and compare the density and evolution
    line_2:        of absorption lines in QSOs with z=2.  We will study the Lyman alpha
    line_3:        forest lines over the range 0.8<z<1.6. This data set will yield
    line_4:        high quality absorption line data for studies of specific absorption line
    line_5:        systems and an independent sample for studies of absorption line evolution.
    line_6:        We will also search for very high-ionization emission lines, such as
    line_7:        Ne VIII.  In three objects with absorption lines at the emission line
    line_8:        redshift, we will look for previously unobserved, very high ionization
    line_9:        absorption lines.  These include Mg X, Al XI, and Si XII.

  question:        3
    section:       1
    line_1:        Following a binary search target acquisition in the 4.3" aperture with
    line_2:        the red detector, spectral observations will be made in the 1.0" round
    line_3:        aperture.  After this a 4500s and 3000s ACCUM mode observation
    line_4:        with G270H will be made for PKS 1247+267 and B2 1225+317, respectively.
    line_5:        A default length wavelength calibration will be taken with
    line_6:        each scan.
    line_7:        Low resolution G160L observations will be made for PKS1559+173,
    line_8:        PKS1148-001, and PKS0109+176.  The former two will be done with the
    line_9:        BLUE detector, the latter with the RED, all in ACCUM mode.  Following
    line_10:       a BSTA, observations of 3900s, 2300s, and 1400s will be made.

  question:        4
    section:       1
    line_1:        The collecting area of HST and the sensitivity of the FOS and GHRS
    line_2:        make it possible to obtain spectra with the signal to noise needed to
    line_3:        carry out these studies of QSOs at wavelengths below the atmospheric
    line_4:        cutoff.  These absorption lines cannot be measured in the optical.

!

  question:        6
    section:       1
    line_1:        Experience has shown that the FOS has significant wavelength
    line_2:        errors due to the uncertainty in the setting of the filter/
    line_3:        grating wheel.  In many cases this is not a problem, but for
    line_4:        this program we require greater accuracy because we must
    line_5:        know whether lines detected in the FOS settings and optical
    line_6:        observations belong to the same system.  The interstellar
    line_8:        lines are strong in G270H but may be contaminated by
    line_9:        the Lyman alpha forest in these objects.

  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_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.
