abstract:

    line_1:        Observe the geocoronal Ly-alpha profile along the night ecliptic in
    line_2:        orbital segments for later editing to match background Ly-alpha profile
    line_3:        of Jupiter for program 4878. This will be used for subtracting out the
    line_4:        background of the Jupiter observation, for which the geocoronal line
    line_5:        blends the planetary Ly-alpha line. An accurate profile is needed to yield
    line_6:        an accurate planetary line profile. High S/N is required.
    line_7:        This observation will also help in the detection of D on Jupiter.

  question:        3
    section:       1
    line_1:        Point blindly on gyros to the vicinity of Jupiter's orbit when the schedule
    line_2:        permits and obtain spectra with G160M for both the LSA and SSA of the
    line_3:        geocoronal Ly-alpha emission. Readout the data every 6-10 min. Observe
    line_4:        at local night in order to assure matching the observing conditions for
    line_5:        the associated Jupiter observations (P4175), particularly the distribution
    line_6:        of illuminated H atoms along the line of sight.

  question:        4
    section:       1
    line_1:        1216A required.
    line_2:        Precisely the same resolution and instrumental setup  required as for the
    line_3:        associated Jupiter HST program 4878.

  question:        6
    section:       1
    line_1:        Dark time geocoronal spectrum needed to remove blended Ly-alpha background
    line_2:        emission from accompanying program 4878 observations of Jupiter Ly-alpha.
    line_3:        Same instrumental setup and approximately the same HST pointing close to
    line_4:        Jupiter's orbit required to insure bracketting the same distribution of
    line_5:        sunlight illuminating the H along the line of sight.

  question:        8
    section:       1
    line_1:        Request these  geocoronal  observations to be SNAP at no charge because
    line_2:        these were originally requested as PARALLEL observations with
    line_3:        Jupiter and Io (P1203 and 1204) but HST still has not implemented the
    line_4:        capability of parallel observations using the GHRS.
