Scientific paper

This program consists of a series of observations of periodic comet 9P/Tempel 1 in conjunction with NASA's Deep Impact mission. This mission is a spacecraft that will release a 360 kg impactor into the nucleus of the comet on July 4, 2005. Our primary objective is to study the generation and evolution of the gaseous coma resulting from this impact. We had planned to obtain ultraviolet spectra with STIS before, during, and following the impact. A secondary objective was to obtain wide-band images of the visual outburst resulting from the impact. With STIS now unavailable, the requisite images can be taken with the ACS/HRC. In addition, the spectroscopic data can be obtained using two of the prism modes of the ACS; HRC/PR200L can replace STIS/G230L and SBC/PR130L can replace G140L.
