AbstractWe present a preliminary analysis of the UV spectrum of the dwarf nova VW Hyi during early quiescence, obtained with the Faint Object Spectrograph (FOS) on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). The data were obtained approximately one day after the end of a normal outburst.

Using the Faint Object Camera on-board the Hubble Space Telescope, we have obtained images of four planetary nebulae in the Magellanic Clouds, namely N2 and N5 in the SMC and N66 and N201 in the LMC. Each nebula was imaged through narrow-band filters isolating [O III] λ5007 and Hβ, for a nominal exposure time of 1000 seconds in each filter. The f/96 optical chain of the FOC was used, yielding 512×512 0.022 arcsec square pixels. Considerable detail is evident on the raw images and after deconvolution using the Richardson-Lucy algorithm, structures as small as 0.06 arcsec are easily discernible. Figure 1 shows NS and EW intensity cross-cuts through the deconvolved [O III] λ5007 images of SMC N2 and SMC N5. SMC N2 is a slightly ellleptical ringlike nebula, with its greatest elongation in the EW direction. The peak-to-peak dimensions of the ring are 0.21×0.26 arcsec2. SMC N5 has a circular ring shape, with the [O III] λ5007 image showing a clearly defined, nearly uniform structure, apart from a bright patch at the northern edge. The peak-to-peak diameter of the ring is 0.26 arcsec and the ring itself is significantly narrower than that of SMC N2, with a width as small as 0.06 arcsec (FWHM) in some places. LMC N201 is very compact, with a FWHM of 0.21 arcsec in the Hβ image. The Type I PN LMC N66 is a multi-polar nebula, with the brightest part having an extent of about 2 arcsec. Its structure is extremely complex, with several bright knots and faint loops visible outside the two bright lobes. A full description of our results can be found in Blades et al., ApJ,398, L41–44.
