galaxies NGC-4567 and NGC-4659 to provide statistics on the nuclear cusps,
stellar condensations, and inner stellar disks and dust lanes. The
observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

1.11 Completed Four Sets of WF/PC-2 5574 (WF/PC-2 Cycle 4: Polarization
Proposal)

polarized and unpolarized images of the target to calibrate the instrument.
Visual flat observations was also taken. The observations were completed as
planned, and no anomalies were reported.

1.12 Completed FGS 5316 (Masses of Pre-Main Sequence Stars: Cycle 4
Medium)

The Fine Guidance Sensors were used in the TRANS Mode to make
astrometric observations of the pre-main sequence binary star ELIAS-12 in the
Taurus star forming region. The FGS data will provide the apparent orbits.
The observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

1.13 Completed WF/PC-2 5419 (A Search for Very Low-Luminosity Active
Galactic Nuclei in Nearby Galaxies)

The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of galaxy NGC-6500, which is
known to have ultraviolet bright, low-luminosity, active galactic nuclei. The
observations were completed as planned, and no problems were reported.

1.14 Completed FOS/BL 5530 (FOS Location of Spectra and Aperture)

The Faint Object Spectrograph (Blue Side) was used to make Y-base maps
of the FOS detectors using internal lamps. The purpose is to determine the
location of the spectra on the diodes. The observations were executed as
scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

1.15 Completed GHRS/1 5726 (Composition of Gas in Individual Interstellar
Clouds: Cycle 4 Carryover)

The High Resolution Spectrograph (Side One) was scheduled to make
observations of standard early type star HD151890 which is located in the
galactic disk to study the composition of interstellar gas clouds. Spectral
lines due to atoms such as C, N, O, Si, Mg, and S in different ionization
states should be seen in the line of sight of this star. Observation #15 was
skipped at 035/0844Z, due to an on-board timing delay cause by a GHRS
carrousel rest. HSTAR 5117 was written. No other anomalies were noted.


1.16 Completed WF/PC-2 5746 (High Spatial Resolution Imaging and
Polarization of AGNs)

The WF/PC-2 was used to make high resolution polarized images of the
AGN within NGC-5728 to provide information about the central source which is
hidden behind obscuring matter. The observations were completed as planned,
and no problems were reported.

1.17 Completed Three Sets of WF/PC-2 5091 (GTO High Latitude Parallel
Program: Cycle 4)

to make high galactic latitude observations greater than +/-30 degrees. The
observations were executed as scheduled, and no problems were reported.

1.18 Completed GHRS/1 5689 (A Search for Silicon and Carbon in GP Com :
Cycle 4 Carryover)

observations of the GP-COM system looking for emission lines of Silicon and
Carbon from its accretion disk. It is hoped that Si IV and C IV lines will be
detected. The observations were completed as planned, and no anomalies were
reported.

1.19 Completed WF/PC-2 5236 (Nuclei of Nearby Normal Galaxies: Cycle 4)

The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of nearby galaxy NGC-4472-NU
to obtain luminosity and color gradients, and to search for bright stars,
globular clusters, and interstellar dust. The observations were executed as
scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

calibration images using hot white dwarf standard source WD0501+527 which is
known to have a nearly featureless spectrum. The observations were completed
as scheduled, and no problems were reported.

Galactic Latitude)

The WF/PC-2 was used in parallel with the prime science observations
to make low galactic latitude deep multicolor images of objects such as
galaxies, and stars in our galaxy. The observations were completed as
planned, and no problems were reported.

1.22 Completed WF/PC-2 5372 (HST Medium-Deep Survey: Cycle 4 Medium, Low
Galactic Latitude, C-R Split)

and its host galaxy. The goal is to study the morphology of this galaxy, and
to see how it differs from non-QSO galaxies. They also will be looking for
the relationship between the properties of the host galaxy and the luminosity
of the quasar. The observations were completed as planned, and no anomalies
were reported.

1.24 Completed WF/PC-2 5741 (Galaxies and Clusters, WF/PC-2 GTO
Augmentation, Cycle 4)

The WF/PC-2 was used to make images of the nuclei of the barred spiral
galaxy NGC-4274-NU. The observations were executed as scheduled, and no
anomalies were noted.
