These data will be searched for multiple cores, which imply a merger has occurred, and for starburst regions. The morphological properties of the galaxies will be determined. The dataset will provide the initial epoch for subsequent supernova searches in these galaxies. These observations appear to have executed as planned. The stability of the FOS Blue side wavelength scale and spectral locations will be measured.
All observations are internals.
No obvious anomalies occurred, so these internals were not displayed. As a feasibility study, the FOS will be used to measure the UV extinction of a star which is deeply imbedded in an interstellar cloud. The objective is to determine the properties of grains as a function of depth in the clouds. The binary target acquisition took place during a telemetry gap, but succeeded in 6 groups. For 08 and 09, which began during gaps, the observation logs falsely indicated that the Take Data flag was down.
