Scientific paper

Galaxies with starburst nuclei show evidence for large populations of massive hot stars existing in a small volume in the nucleus. This phenomenon may be a precursor to more dramatic activity powered by the evolutionary endproducts of millions of high mass stars. Multiband images obtained with the Wide Field Camera will be used to invesitgate the location, size, structure, colors and luminosity of the starburst region. Ultraviolet spectroscopy with the High Resolution Spectrograph will provide direct insight into the nature of the hot stars. Interstellar gas in the target galaxy, and in or near the Milky Way will be probed by high resolution observations of selected absorption lines.
