Questions

   Observing_Description:   
   Real_Time_Justification:   No real-time observations are requested for this proposal. 
      The observatons in this proposal require a total integration
      time of 21,600 seconds during a CVZ visit of the target.  
      The extended nature of the observation is essential for two reasons:
      a) A single long observation is require to properly measure 
      the multiple frequencies and their spacings found in this 
      star.  Shorter observations would confuse adjacent pulsations.
      b) A CVZ visit is requested to eliminate period aliasing due to gaps in
      the data normally introduced by the HST orbit.  This is important
      since the aliasing would be introducing power at period spacings
      similar to those found in the star.
   Calibration_Justification:
   Additional_Comments: 
      The observation should be scheduled for orbits that avoid
      the South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA).
      If possible within the constraints of CVZ scheduling, the observations
      are requested to be scheduled within 2 months of January 15 1996 to
      allow this observation to coincide with ground based observations planned
      for early 1996.

abstract:    As part of the SV program of HSP HD 60435 was observed with the HSP
    as a test of the photometric stability of the HSP.  This program
    was successful in identifying many of the photometric stability
    problems which had to be dealt with in later HSP observations.  However,
    it also yielded some interesting scientfic results which will
    followed up.  The primary results of the HSP data were the detection
    of both known and previously unknown pulsations in the star.  In addition
    significant low frequency features are evident in the power spectrum
    of the star which have not been accounted for as either noise or
    instrument effects.  Further observations of this star will be
    accomplished with the FOS in RAPID mode for an observation duration
    of about 6 hours while the target is in the CVZ of the HST.
