abstract:

    line_1:        M15 is the archetype of the post collapse globular cluster with a very dense
    line_2:        core unresolvable from the ground and power law surface brightness radial
    line_3:        profile. It also exhibits a central cusp in the velocity dispersion radial
    line_4:        profile. All this indicates that the cluster has most likely experienced core
    line_5:        collapse. It is not clear yet what state it finds itself in now but it seems
    line_6:        likely that it may be rebounding from its approach to the singularity either
    line_7:        because of the production of energy producing hard binaries or of a black hole.
    line_8:        Early HST observations of the core of M15 have been inconclusive in this regard
    line_9:        in that the specific character of core collapse is impressed on the stellar
    line_10:       density radial profile within 1" or so from the gravity center, well within the
    line_11:       aberrated wings of the PSF. WF/PC observations in the U band indicate a core of
    line_12:       radius 2.2"=0.13pc due to an unresolved stellar component fainter than  U=18.
    line_13:       Multicolor FOC observations show that there is a significant population of
    line_14:       UV-bright stars in this area. The only way to measure this crucial radius and
    line_15:       thus determine unambiguosly the evolutionary status of this object is to resolve
    line_16:       the faint stars in the core with the highest possible resolution and
    line_17:       sensitivity. Only the FOC F/96 relay with COSTAR can do this job properly, with
    line_18:       tremendous scientific impact brought by the first measurement of a collapsed
    line_19:       core, possible indications of a black hole, a new population of blue objects and
    line_20:       the first observations of white dwarfs.
