Ground-based observations reveal a string of sub-nuclei line_4: spaced over a distance of about one arcminute. HST observations line_5: of this object with the WFPC-2 should reveal a fascinating spatial line_6: morphology that is more detailed than any images obtained from line_7: ground-based telescopes. Most importantly, WFPC-2 images of 1993e line_8: should allow us to refine the nuclear size estimates that were line_9: originally estimated from WFPC-1 HST observations in July 1993. line_10:This proposal is for the May 1994 observations. general_form_proposers: lname: WEAVER fname: HAROLD title: PI mi: A. inst: STSCI country: USA general_form_text: question: 3 section: 1 line_1: The program consists of three visits to the comet (one orbit per line_2: visit) and one visit to Jupiter (one orbit.) In principle, GS line_3: Handoffs could be used for the three comet observations, but line_4: I don't think I want to take the risk of trying to use that line_5: new capability for these observations. line_6: If possible, please schedule all four orbits consecutively line_7: in the order given below. Certainly I want all the observations line_8: completed within one day. If the CML constraint on the Jupiter line_9: observations presents scheduling difficulties, then simply line_10:drop this constraint. I put this constraint in to capture the line_11:the part of Jupiter where most of the large impacts occur. line_12:Similarly, I'm fairly flexible on the ROLL constraint. I just line_13:don't want nominal roll for the comet observations because line_14:then the train will lie nearly along a column in WF4. question: 3 section: 2 line_1: SU 01: line_2: orbit 1: Two 800 sec WF3-4 images of SL-17 (E) line_3: SU 02: line_4: orbit 2: Two 800 sec WF3-4 images of SL-11 (L) line_5: SU 03: line_6: orbit 3: Two 800 sec WF3-4 images of SL-5 (S) line_7: SU 04: line_8: orbit 4: Many WF3 images of Jupiter question: 3 section: 3 line_1: question: 4 section: 1 line_1: HST observations of Comet Shoemaker-Levy (1993e) should provide line_2: better detail on the break-up of this object than is available line_3: from any other source. question: 4 section: 2 line_1: question: 4 section: 3 line_1: question: 5 section: 1 line_1:Please try to execute these observations during the week of 5/16 (sms 136) line_2:if possible, or during the week of 5/23 (sms 143) at the latest. I won't line_3:build this timing into the proposal itself but will instead leave it to line_4:the MT Group to check this requirement. line_5: line_6: question: 8 section: 1 line_1: question: 9 section: 1 line_1:ID no. 3064: HST Observations of Comet Levy (1990c) line_2:(A'Hearn, Arpigny, and Feldman are Co-Is), an imaging-only line_3:program that is only peripherally related to the line_4:current program. line_5: line_6:ID no. 2481: HST Observations of Periodic Comets (A'Hearn, Arpigny, line_7:and Feldman are Co-Is), only peripherally related to this program. line_8: line_9:ID no. 2483: The Volatile Composition of New Comets (A'Hearn, Arpigny, line_10:and Feldman are Co-Is), only peripherally related to this program. line_11: line_12:ID no. 2442: Cometary Parent Molecules, P.D.

QUESTION: 9 SECTION: 2 line_1:ID no. 3064: Two sets of WFC images of comet Levy were obtained 6.5 line_2:hours apart on 27 September 1990 in order to investigate its temporal line_3:variability. An arc of large grains was observed propagating line_4:sunward with a projected velocity of 0.16 km/sec. line_5: line_6:ID no. 2481: P/Hartley 2 was successfully observed in late 9/91 line_7:These observations produced the first detection of CO Cameron bands in line_8:comets. This emission is essentially a unique tracer of the CO2 line_9:abundance in comets. Additionally we obtained a beautiful spectrum line_10:of the comet covering the entire spectral range 1200-6800 A, from line_11:which we are compiling (still in progress) an inventory of volatiles line_12:in that comet. line_13: line_14:ID no. 2483: Comet Shoemaker-Levy (1991a1) was successfully observed line_15:in July 1992. Unfortunately, the comet was not as bright as we had line_16:hoped, but we obtained data of comparable (slightly higher) quality line_17:to that already in hand from P/Hartley 2. We definitely detected line_18:the CO Cameron bands again, but it is much too early to say anything line_19:more at this time. line_20: line_21:ID no. 2442: Comet Shoemaker-Levy (1991a1) was successfully observed line_22:in July 1992, but it is too early to say anything more at this time.

Feldman, in "Science with the Hubble Space Telescope", line_8:ESA-NASA CP, in press. line_9: line_10:Presentations on both the above programs have been made at several line_11:scientific meetings, including the annual DPS meetings in 1990 line_12:(for 3064), 1991 (for 2481), and 1992 (2481 and 2483). A paper line_13:on our detection of CO Cameron band emission in P/Hartley 2 line_14:will be submitted to a refereed journal shortly.
