Luminosity line_5: fluctuations based on pixel statistics will permit the top line_6: of the H-R diagram and the top of the stellar luminosity line_7: function to be better characterized than possible with line_8: groundbased data, while luminosity functions of globular line_9: clusters in ellipticals will help pin down the distance of line_10: the Coma Cluster (z = 0.023). ! ! end of abstract general_form_proposers: lname: WESTPHAL fname: JAMES title: PROF. mi: A. inst: CALTECH country: USA ! ! end of general_form_proposers block general_form_text: question: 3 section: 1 line_1: On one flank of each elliptical galaxy, long WFC exposures line_2: (~2000 seconds) will be made through two wide-band filters line_3: (F555W and F814W). Each such pair of frames will span at line_4: least the range from V = 22 to 25 mag arcsec**(-2), and a line_5: second pair of frames (in some cases) will sample the line_6: neighboring field. ! question: 6 section: 1 line_1: Uninterrupted exposures (except for CR-splitting) are needed line_2: to maximize S/N. For all exposures exceeding 500 sec, we line_3: request dark time in order to minimize scattered light. By line_4: dark time we mean that the telescope should be beyond the line_5: brightly lit limb of the Earth in the dark half of the line_6: orbit. We do not require that the telescope actually be line_7: within the Earth's shadow. ! question: 13 section: 1 line_1: Long WFC exposures in two broad passbands will be obtained line_2: on the flanks of large elliptical galaxies (plus M32) to line_3: probe the top of the H-R diagram in the nearest ones and to line_4: investigate the luminosity function of their globular line_5: clusters. The latter will be used to help infer the distance line_6: to the Coma Cluster, which has implications concerning H_o. line_7: The primary targets are NGC 3379, 4649, 4881, and 221. ! !end of general form text general_form_address: lname: WESTPHAL fname: JAMES mi: A. title: PROF. category: PI inst: CALTECH addr_1: M/S 170-25 addr_2: DIVISION OF GEOLOGICAL addr_3: & PLANETARY SCIENCES city: PASADENA state: CA zip: 91125 country: USA phone: (818)-395-4900 ! lname: BAUM fname: WILLIAM mi: A. category: CON inst: UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON addr_1: ASTRONOMY DEPARTMENT addr_2: 2124 NE PARK ROAD city: SEATTLE state: WA zip: 98105 country: USA phone: (206)-527-4306 ! lname: LAUER fname: TOD mi: R. category: CON inst: KPNO addr_1: P.
