Scientific paper

We propose to obtain high S/N UV spectra to investigate the history of star formation in elliptical galaxies. These observations will provide an order of magnitude improvement in spectral signal-to-noise over that previously attainable with IUE. The data will also supplement and complement the limited set of elliptical-galaxy observations made in December 1990 with Astro-1. The HST spectra promise additional important constraints on the metallicity distribution and ages of the hot stellar component in these galaxies.
