AB Aur being observed with HST now
Abstract:
Observations of the bright (6.9-8.4V) young, accreting A0 Herbig Ae star, AB Aur have been scheduled.
Justification:
The science goals of this campaign would be best supported by a time-series with observational cadence that covers a range of timescales: high-cadence (hourly), medium cadence (weekly), and low-cadence (monthly). An ideal observing plan that satisfies the desired cadences would look something like: 3 – 10 observations over the course of the night, with each night separated by a few days to a week, repeated over several months.
