HUBBLE SPACE TELESCOPE - Continuing to collect World Class Science DAILY REPORT       #4749 PERIOD COVERED: 5am December 3 - 5am December 4, 2008 (DOY 338/1000z-339/1000z) OBSERVATIONS SCHEDULED FGS 11943 Binaries at the Extremes of the H-R Diagram We propose to use HST/Fine Guidance Sensor 1r to survey for binaries among some of the most massive, least massive, and oldest stars in our part of the Galaxy. FGS allows us to spatially resolve binary systems that are too faint for ground-b ...Continue Reading
