Proposal_Information Title: CARBON MONOXIDE ON MARS Proposal_Category: GTO/OS Scientific_Category: Solar System Cycle: 5 Investigators PI_name: John Caldwell PI_Institution: York University Abstract: Observe Mars in the point-and-shoot mode, to obtain a spectrum of the CO Cameron band centered at 2060A. Solar_System_Targets Target_Number: 1 Target_Name: MARS Description: PLANET MARS Level_1: std=MARS Flux: V=0.9 B-V=1.37 U-B=0.6 Comments: Flux data for June 1, 1995 Visits Visit_Number: 1 Visit_Comments: Mars will be acquired by blind pointing. No ACQ is used. GHRS spectra will be obtained, to search for the signature of the CO Cameron band in absorption at 2060A wavelength. There will be two settings of G200M, which overlap in covering the band between 2060 and 2070A. The two settings extend the continuum coverage to longer and shorter wavelengths than would be possible in a single setting, while optimizing photon collection in the band itself and reducing sensititivity to bad diodes within the band. Note that V for Mars on June 1, 1995 is given in the target list.
